I managed to get an invite to the uber exclusive Vox. You might think I’m talking about a trendy hot spot but Vox is a new blogging service created by SixApart, the same company that brought you MovableType, TypePad, and acquired LiveJournal. I’ve only spent a few minutes playing with it but I like it so far. There are a lot of things to like about Vox - the themes are beautiful, seamless integration with Flickr (very smart move, why force users to re-upload photos when they’re already using a social photo sharing service?), post-level privacy controls, and a sweet UI.

Best of all, it shares the same name as an old Sarah McLachlan song - the same song that has the “desert of my dreams” lyric.

I have two invites to spare. Ping me in the comments if you’d like to check it out.

Update - invites gone, you snooze, you lose! ;)
