BLOG written in keys

This isn't my first blog post, by any stretch of the imagination! No, I have been blogging from January this year.

However, this is the first post I have ever done on Vox. I don't think I'm really in the target market for Vox, as I am tech savvy and I have no inherent desire to share my thoughts on my own life with anyone through a blog. There are, however, many people who do, as we can see through the remarkable success of social networking sites such as Bebo and Myspace. The main reason, then, that I am using Vox is that I intend to review it for my tech blog, Gizbuzz.

Vox differs from these in that it is a blogging platform with social networking features, rather than a social network with blogging features. The difference is that instead of a profile page, Vox users have a blog page, with their 'neighbours' listed in the sidebar, as a secondary feature. The same goes for the user Profile. Vox also only allows comments on posts (like a blog) rather than on the whole blog (like a social network).

I have found a bug with Vox. I tried to upload some audio, but it seems to have completely failed, with a firefox message box appearing saying that the script has stopped responding. Inserting a youtube video also failed, but I suspect that's the fault of the Youtube API, given the error message. I would also like to be able to insert my own HTML, which I cannot see an easy way to do. It's a shame, because I was going to describe it as a faultless service!
