Social Networking The VOX Way
A new social network called VOX launched today, and before you can say, “Oh no. Not another MySpace.” Listen up first.
Six Apart, owner of Live Journal, Typepad, and MoveableType also own VOX and while they may offer some MySpace-like features (what social network service doesn’t?), they do have a unique approach to a couple of areas that’s bound to please users - their method of displaying advertising and their attention to privacy issues.
TechCrunch has more:
Vox includes extensive privacy controls, a tag cloud for blog posts and a beautiful WYSWIG composition page. Privacy levels are a big part of the company’s strategy…
One of the things that users are going to love about Vox is that the advertising is incredibly unobtrusive. The business model here looks really smart. There are large sidebar ads only on the admin pages, search results and a few others, it’s great. You can view profile pages and explore the site without looking at big ads! There are a few very small ads in public user pages and users are encouraged to post about their favorite books and movies.
It was also mentioned VOX conducted a beta test to foster their community (which boasts over 85,000 members) before they launched to the general public. VOX also issued a welcome post if you’d like to read more about their rationale for launching another social network service.

So what if Gooogle has ties to the CIA? That doesn’t make it defacto bad. Quite the opposite.
The Agency has a lot of really fine individuals who have always been working to improve things. All this nonsense about it being nothing but an evil operation is just that…non-sensical.
What the hell does anybody know about Alex Jones anyhow? Do you think he could get away with the things he gets away with if he didn’t have ties to a clandestine service?
Nobody could just sneak into Bohemian Grove and take pictures like Jones and his pal did. It was all set up and intended to increase the mystery of the whole place.
Jones is a tool of the conspiracy that he claims to be exposing. It’s really quite simple and the oldest trick in the intel ops book.
Besides, a guy who drinks the blood and eats the body of a persecuted, tortured, murdered, and mutilated Jew and thinks that because of this cannibalism he’s exempt from responsibility for his actions…such a person is really stupid and dangerous.
