Jux is a slick web-based application that will be useful for people who want to create a blog or one-off presentation that is really focused on visual style. Every time you add new content, Jux reorganizes your content into a single, beautiful, edge-to-edge display. Clicking on any element will display it in a gorgeous full-screen mode.

Unlike other applications, Jux offers six different types of content that can be added, with styling notes catered to the particular media you are presenting for maximum effect. For example, the text-based articles are styled into pages that look like they could be pulled from a magazine.

In addition to text, you can post a single image, a full slideshow, block-quote, countdown, or a video. In all cases, the use of prominently displayed images creates stunning visual impact.

Images can be uploaded, or pulled in from a URL, Flickr, or Instagram.  Videos can be easily embedded from Youtube or Vimeo.  For both images and videos, it is simple to add additional titles and inside Jux, which achieves the affect of creating a consistent visual style, despite combining content from a number of different sources.

Jux content can be embedded or easily shared using email, Facebook or Twitter.

If you just scan the feature list, there might not be anything particularly groundbreaking that jumps off the page. But where Jux shines is creating an attractive, unified whole that is much more than the sum of the parts.

This would be a great platform for an ongoing blog with a heavily emphasis on multimedia. I have just started using it with students to create multimedia presentations that incorporate videos, images, and text. The kids love the professional look they can achieve with the easy interface.

One missing feature I would like to see would be the ability to easily change the order / positioning of your content. Currently, it displays content in reverse chronological order, blog-style. You can work around this by changing the dates and times associated with your content, but a more direct, drag and drop interface would really make it more useful as a presentation tool.

Definitely worth checking out, and adding to your blogging and presentations toolbox.
