Quitting Vox
I'll probably be on a WordPress hosted blog soon. Why?
And I quote:
"Ok. Done. I'm officially quitting Vox and switching to WordPress or Blogger or some other decent platform.
Reasons:
1) Video posting is crap. Why? Because a) the requirements are too strict (fair enough, but), b) YouTube search is not flexible at all and doesn't even give the option of specifying the video ID (which would still be fine, but), c) any attempts to embed a video by hand using HTML have blown up in my face.
2) Comments on posts are only allowed from other Vox members. I've given feedback about this before (and received no response), and I've also heard rants about this from other Vox members. This is a really shitty way to attract people to use your service. Reality check: no one is going to start a blog here because they're required to register. It's a pain in the ass, and the only thing it helps is your numbers (which must be your only concern).
The media library is a good idea, if only it were flexible enough to be really useful."
A bit harsh, of course, but I've lost my patience with this thing. Catch you on the flipside.
