The End of an Era: VOX by SixApart

September 2nd marked the end of an era for VOX. A SixApart hosted blogging platform. I made my first real blog there and kept it going for three years! It was a great service and had over 250 million unique members worldwide but, I guess it wasn't making enough money for SixApart to justify keeping it running. And even though I believe that selling out and killing off VOX was not a good idea, they are a company and companies have to make money. Since I read about the closing, I have migrated my blog to Posterous, TypePad, WordPress.com, and my primary blog so the legacy of VOX and my first blog will still live on :-D. On September 30th, VOX will close completely taking all the posts, pictures, and videos not exported to other sites down with it so if you are the owner of a VOX blog and you want to keep all of your content move now!

UPDATE: SixApart has moved all content from VOX to TypePad servers so, if you've moved your VOX blog to Posterous or Wordpress.com all of your pictures, videos, and such will show up from TypePad servers.
