"Vox"ing our private blogs

October 29, 2006 By

Several people have added me recently to their private Vox blogs (Vox just started up last week, is done by SixApart, who brought us Moveable Type and TypePad, but many of the early adopter types were on the beta). I am sorry to admit that I “poopooed” Vox as something for “other people.” I didn’t get it.

But after seeing that there’s some value to blogging to just your family or your friends or a small group of people I have to admit I was wrong about Vox. 

Vox is pretty darn cool. I told Matt Mullenweg (founder of WordPress.com, the folks who publish my blog here) yesterday that he should get into Vox and see what’s going on cause tons of people that I trust are doing the Vox thing. It’ll be interesting to see how WordPress responds. I’d certainly like to have a WordPress.com blog where I could post something just to my friends and/or family.

    Sharing with subgroups of your contacts (“like your family or your friends or a small group of people”) is something Multiply.com has done for more than a couple years now.

    Except we… sort of take it to the next level. I’d like to see Vox let me share a blog entry (or photo album, video clip, etc.) with “my business contacts, their business contacts and *their* business contacts” only. :)

    Does anyone know of blog software as easy to use as VOX that I can use on my own site? I would like it to use on my own just to have backups for myself etc..

    Probably defeats some of the VOX service but I’m just looking for blog software with a LOW learning curve.
