wouldn't it be nice if; more media types

Here's some more ideas and feedback for media types that Vox could scoop up and make collectable and bloggable, and some sources for same.

For audio, it would be really spiffy if you could record directly into Vox (or am I missing that?) so that there doesn't need to be a separate encode to MP3 and upload step.  (Think Odeo, let's say.)  That's the sort of thing that could give you spontaneous audio clips.

For books, I'd love to see an interface to LibraryThing.  LT has a tag system, lets you do user-uploaded covers so that you can get images of books not in Amazon, and is generally amazingly cool and library-geeky.

In a fit of academic weakness, I'd like to see some interface to CiteULike, so that there was a straightforward way to cite papers.  Again, that system has tags and a rating and recommending system, which speeds up the process of finding things and keeping track of them.  Failing that, if there were some way to upload PDFs and then show thumbnail images of front pages, that would go a long ways.

All that said, this is a really great setup, and already I find it a lot easier to navigate through than the equivalent number and scope of regular blogs.
