Does anyone know if there's an API that lets you post to Vox from client software?

I didn't expect to like Vox. Despite having accounts on virtually every kind of social network, I'm not really a huge fan of either the concept or the way that they've been implemented. But Vox, which acts like a smart cross between LiveJournal, TypePad, and Friendster, is something that I've really grown to like.

Why? First of all, it has an indefinable community feel to it. You're not invited to join hokey groups or email lists: it's just you, your friends and "neighbours" (I refuse to use the Americanism!). The way that it integrates books, photos, and so on is sweet. At first, I didn't like the way that it cross-posted to TypePad (I wanted whole posts, without the "On Vox" tag), but now I like it - it delivers a nice seperation between personal posts and "work" posts, if that's what you're using your TypePad blog for. That delivers more of a rounded feel to my TypePad blog - it becomes a little more than the sum of its parts.

For most of these things, I start using them in a bang and end up with a whimper. With Vox, I can see the opposite happening.
