Did I miss the announcement?We're sending two Voxers on trips to San Francisco, Paris and Tokyo! The winners will be announced on January 31, 2007!
I like Vox because Vox is a serendipity engine.
Spending time on Vox is akin to walking through Grand Central Terminal in New York City - you never know what you'll experience, who you will meet, or how these things will touch your life in ways great or small.
Effortless sharing of words, pictures, sounds, and books has built a diverse world of unexpected terrain. People sharing their favorite books, heart-felt words or candid pictures create potential new paths and connections that moments ago never existed for me.
A twisty network of real people hold everything together, guiding you in surprising ways even as you add your own turns to an etherial map. It is a slippery sort of map - one you can never quite view in its entirety, but each section has its own sort of logic as you travel along.
Online space has become increasingly organized and purpose-driven. It is a wonderful feeling to connect to Vox and say to myself, "I wonder what is going to happen today."
When I first came to Vox, this quote from an Antoine de Saint-Exupéry book immediately came to mind:
Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures — in this century, as in others, our highest accomplishments still have the single aim of bringing people together.
- Wind, Sand, and Stars (1939)
Months later, I can say Vox has met and exceeded the electric promise I felt that day.
