TechCrunch have announced that Six Apart (the team behind TypePad, Moveable Type and Live Journal) are releasing a new hosted blogging platform named Vox (formally named Comet) – to be launched on 1 June.
It’s been on the cards since September last year (when it was called Project Comet).
They describe Vox as half blogging platform and half social network. It looks like a pretty entry level kind of product and I’m not sure how much it will offer most ProBloggers but it will definately be something worth taking a look at.

Thats great.
One more competitor to Blogger and WordPress.com
Looks pretty basic, but I’ll still probably check it out.
I’ll wait to see whether Six Apart start listening to their customers and deal with the major issues that have been brought up about LiveJournal and the abuse team management first…
