Vox is interesting as it combines several elements of design, UI, themese, widgets commonly found in the various social networking sites. Here&#8217;s my first impression:<br \/>\n1. Account signup. They present a large text box to enter the e-mail address. Reminds me of WordPress signup page.<br \/>\n2. The Registration form is neat with each field showing a nice little note on the side. However, there is no way to tell which fields are required.<br \/>\n3. Signup &#8220;Add Team Vox as a Neighbor&#8221;: It asks whether you are interested in the VOX Team as a neighbour. This is a feature they probably picked up from Myspace signup process where Tom Anderson automatically gets picked up as a friend<br \/>\n4. The ads start popping up during the sign-up process itself on the 3rd screen &#8212; Neat!<br \/>\n5. Item Composition &#8212; It has a neat little feature where you can search and add &#8220;assets&#8221; from YouTube, Amazon, Flickr, Photobucket, etc. Users would love this feature.<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t know how they are going to make money as I haven&#8217;t seen any ads on any of the Vox blogs, except for the ads while signing up and while doing admin tasks (like posting a new entry, creating tags, etc.)..Hmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vox launched yesterday after a long and thought through beta period.
