I’m Voxing Here
I have finally arrived. Again.
I have joined the social network phenomenon that is Vox, which is a like a My Space for grown-ups.
I thought I better get on board because everyone else is, and for good reason, by the looks of things.
My page is called Like Standing Still, Only Faster, and it’s not really a site as such, kind of more a presence, but not in the metaphysical sense.
At the moment I’m not sure what it’s there for, but Vox do a cool thing where you answer a question every day and they give you ideas for posts.
This Is This will still be my main site - my, if you will, Ultravox, but if you’re interested in random quickfire questions and want to know what books I’m reading and stuff, then pay a visit.
Actually, I do have a My Space page, but I don’t use it. I just wanted to reserve it in case anyone else wanted to take my My Space space. The curse of having a name as common as Jones is that what little style you have is often cramped. I bet that never happens to Alwin Fernandez.

I recently dipped a toe into My Space, and I have to say I don’t quite get it. The fact that you say Vox is like My Space for grown ups is probably what I’m talking about.
But then I’ve occasionally mentioned blogging to non-bloggers and they don’t get it. I forget that to some people, this normal, daily part of my life is still regarded as a little bit geeky.

Quick hello - Vox sems to be blogging for non-bloggers, or in my case non-blogging for bloggers.
Who? Who regards us as geeky?
Ed - Have you tried that delicious links aggregator? I hear good things.

My hairdresser Jasmin for a start. I mentioned blog and she said what’s a blog. And when I tried to explain it to her she said geek.
