Welcome aboard!

[sharing private to only you..]

Google+ is the crazy project I'm working on. Would love to hear your opinions on how you and your friends use the product. My eventual goal is to get the entire family signed up and do a 10-way video hangout.

I feel compelled to post something to counteract the dozen reshares of Christian's Google+ for business post..

I hope this season of Torchwood is decent. It can be pretty hit or miss, but when it hits it's pretty darn good.

Remember Vox? I had the good fortune to be at Six Apart for it's development and launch. A lot of amazing work went into it and sadly it is no more. Vox was ahead of it's time and I feel that Google+ has much of what I liked about it.

You see back then Six Apart acquired Livejournal for it's amazing technology and it's foothold into the social space beyond blogging. There was a hitch though, LJ code was open sourced and GPL'd. It would be hard to sell a rebranded LJ to people like NTT, or other Typepad partners.. Also as a service LJ had developed it's own culture that might not benefit from a wave of mommy bloggers, nor would said bloggers be comfortable with the cutters and goths over at LJ.

Thus Comet was born and launched as Vox. You could follow with Friends/Family groups. Each post could be as private and public as you liked. You could cross-post to LJ, apply stylish themes to your blog and there was the #qotd (question of the day) which sparked up some great conversations and helped build a sense of community.

Some of the features found their way into Typepad, and Typepad's profiles. Sadly, many did not.

What do you think Six Aparters? What features do you miss that you'd like to see here?
