From the Wall Street Journal and Walt Mossberg: Choosing Who Can See What on Your Blog:

Vox does a nice job of jazzing up the world of blogging. Its designs are attractive, but it really shines when loading media onto your posts, making your blog richer in content and more sophisticated in looks. Updates will continue to be released, improving Vox's weaknesses, the most important of which is clarifying its group labels. Vox also plans to offer to import your content from other blogging sites, encouraging experienced users to bring their last blog along with them instead of leaving it with the old service.

Good article... Now hopefully someone in my family will see it and get excited about Vox instead of continuing to use that awful MyFamily.com which hasn't added a feature since about 2003... Blecch...

Huh... I did a panel with the CEO of MyFamily and was very curious about who uses the service. Honestly, I don't think that audience is very interested in new features. :)

I think you're right. My big thing is this: MyFamily gives you one walled-garden for your family. However, that's not the way the world works. Each in-law has their own family. Everyone has at least one friend that they consider family but who other people in the family don't know. It's a broken model that Vox fixes with it's individual privacy settings.

Now if I can only figure out how to explain that to them...

Step one: Share one family's private info with the in-laws.
Step two: ???
Step three: Vox!

Yeah. I'm stuck on Step 2... The problem is, they are in the habit of checking MyFamily regularly and Vox never.

We need a MyFamily importer...

It's not nice to talk about people behind their backs!! <g>

I've been trying to make sure that it's in front of your face, but you guys keep turning your backs! What's a guy to do?
