Vox.

[substitute]

After careful inspection, Vox appears to be "Livejournal for people who wouldn't admit to using livejournal." DId I miss something?

It does look nice.

people don't admit to using livejournal? POSERS.

[substitute.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's weird. I read one geek guy who was all "VOX IS GREAT BECAUSE I WOULDN'T GO ON LJ BECAUSE THAT'S FOR EMO TEENS AND I'M COOLER THAN THAT" and I'm thinking, right. You're the guy who reads /Vanity Fair/ because you wouldn't want to be seen reading /People/. Fuck you.

dang -- that was my excuse for not using myspace.

C'mon man, the power of myspace is awesomely annoying friends that take it seriously by making profiles like this.

uh....

he appears to have mixed up livejournal with myspace. he's obviously not professional.

It strikes me as a very Mac Genius Bar kind of site.

Isn't it basically TypePad with some LJ-style social network authentication added in, and brought up to date with the current web-design zeitgeist?

Hopefully they've made it fully OpenID compliant.

I thought vox was a brand of vodka...

It looks more like a grown up version of myspace or a combo lj/flickr/some other multimedia blog crap site...

I really didn't expect to see someone I actually know on the front page when I went to look at this...

You know, it is important to invite people who contorl if you get to speak at conferences :p

[frobisher.livejournal.com]

Hm... good point.

One of the joys of Livejournal is the incredible variety of "flavours" available depending upon your friends list. People speak of LJ being largely emo teens, but as there are no emo teens on my friends list, LJ has never had this character to me. This may infact be the central success of LJ for me -- the fact that it is a user selectable set of very diverse individuals. You create the community you want to interact with.
