I recently stumbled upon Vox. Surprised I hadn’t done so before, I decided to stay and look around. It was an interesting visit, so I’m recommending you check it out if you also haven’t done so before and you’re interested in social networking, photo-video sharing and blogging.
Vox is all of these things and then some. A free service by the same people behind LiveJournal and TypePad (Six Apart). What Vox does is offer people a suite of tools for expressing themselves online and keeping in touch with friends or meeting new people. The participatory nature of Vox, encourages people to view, subscribe and comment on content created by fellow users.
The service is free and you get a free blog, photo and video posting, more privacy controls than what you’ve grown accustomed to expect from a service of the type, and seamless integration with other popular web services you may already be using, such as Flickr and YouTube.
Truth is there is too much there which may get you confused at first, but once you get a feeling of the place and learn how to use it - it can be a whole lot of fun.

Good article!
I have been using Vox for quite some time and have really enjoyed the service. The privacy controls are great. My blog is only for my family, and I don’t have to worry about people looking at my private content.
Glad that you liked the service as well. I think it’s the next big thing. People are going to get sick of MySpace at some point!

Speaking about it, another great use for Vox would be for people who have to travel away from home and want to keep friends and family up to date with what and how they’re doing.
