of all that i need right now, another blog is not on the list. yet, this morning i got a nice invitation from Vanlal about this "vox" thingy from six-apart, and i got really really curious. many thanks Vanlal!
i am giving a one day workshop about blogging in about a month's time, and i thought that i should certainly inform myself in a more comprehensive way as to all the tools available. it is also clear to me that in a one day workshop about blogging, one can do a lot, but being comprehensive is not within the doable.
while having breakfast i have briefly fiddled around with this account and here is what i like:
- book list directly from amazon. cool! i use "wists" already in my other blogs to display books of interest which i am in conversation (publicly or privately) with those in my community.
- audio, great to see it, i have not yet fiddled with it, but it is good to see that this is a media blogging tool.
- i like the level of individual control associated with adding tags, marking the post as offensive or otherwise not suited for public display or on who can comment. it has the element of giving each individual responsability for the content that he or she is generating, and that is damn good in my book.
what i want to see:
- books: to be able to pick the books from my amazon wish list.
- pictures: to be able to add my 23hq.com pictures, not only the flickr ones.
- safari support for composing: no safari support sucks for those of us hooked to safari, but ok, the fox is also here, and you guys are working on it.
that is it for a first post.
i still need to see that this thing talks to ecto, i am an ecto addict which is only natural if one does keep up a whole bunch of blogs - and i am not telling how many - and bent on getting it done as efficiently as possible.
does this hook up to delicious, furl, flock and all those goodie web 2.0 gizmostic softwares?
