I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, but boing-boing had a link pointing to Vox the other day. I had actually heard of this site earlier (and btw, if I have heard of something before it shows up on boing-boing, does that make me super-duper cool or what?), but I haven’t set up an account yet.
It does look promising though; basically, this it’s like a blogger-type space that allows you to easily incorporate lots of video, audio, pictures, etc., etc. That’d be pretty handy for a class where one of the goals is to get students to do stuff with a variety of different online medias but where there isn’t a lot of time or computer lab access to take students to work on iMovie and other software.
that’s because I told you about it! :)
Yes, but it didn’t become “cool” until boing-boing had something on it….
I actually heard about Vox through LiveJournal – the same parent company runs both sites.
The sole reason i got an account there (lol) was to play around with the layout options, because i enjoyed the looks more than LJ’s.
However, it does seem to have some neat options.
