Vox
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Contrary to popular belief, Vox is essentially the same thing as LiveJournal. The only difference is Vox looks like somebody took a big fat Web 2.0 shit all over it.

[edit] Vox drama
Months before its scheduled public launch in the fall of 2006, Vox is already stirring up drama. Many users were upset over Six Apart's description of Livejournal. In the "About Vox" page, Six Apart originally wrote:
- LiveJournal has grown to be an amazing community of fiercely independent bloggers, primarily teenagers and twenty-somethings.
While this is completely factual, many users who are past that age group felt insulted (and rightly so: how do they expect to be treated? They are using a site geared towards fucking teenagers! Six Apart was forced to change the wording, which now reads:
- LiveJournal has grown to be an amazing community of fiercely independent bloggers. Over the past seven years, that community has developed in both its scope and its need for powerful customization.
LOLO.
[edit] Vox invite codes
Vox initially needed 'invite codes', however, it is now open to the public. No one uses it; don't bother.
[edit] Tag clouds
Vox, much like every other website to come into existence in recent years, features the highly useless, and therefore trendy feature of tags. If you for some reason do not use tags, you srsly need to wake up, smell the coffee, and welcome yourself to the 21st century, girlfriend.
These are arranged in traditional "popular tags" clouds, on various pages throughout the site. The link text to these tags grows larger the more people are using that tag, which is really just asking for it.
[edit] What you do:
- Tag every post, photograph, etc. with "penis".
- Tell all your Vox e-pals to do the same, and to spread the word.
- ?????
- PROFIT!
[edit] Handicap Accessibility
Vox is officially the first blog user interface designed for blind people. Most of the fonts are atleast as big as the buttons on phones for blind, fat, or old people. There are lots of friendly colored boxes with arrows showing you where to type. Sometimes the site even tells you what to write:
That's okay. We're here to help you figure out what to say. Pick the one you like. * jkhasjkdhjkasdhkjkjah * ualuealuealeuale * lololololol
