I found this in my inbox this morning and was wondering what are some of the early thoughts about it :)


vBadvanced is proud to announce that our newest product, vBadvanced
Blogicles, is now ready for private beta testing!

What is a Blogicle?
A Blogicle is a funny word that we made up from the words "Blog" and
"Article". Though the product can be used for MUCH more than a blog or
article system, we didn't want to combine too many words and make the
name extremely long. ;)
Our main focus for this product has been to make it extremely dynamic
so that it can serve a wide variety of purposes. A few examples of this
would be a members blog system, articles, file downloads directory,
classifieds section, or just about anything similar. Key phrases such as
"Category" and "Entry" can be changed via a setting and will affect
every instance of that word on the user side of the software. This,
combined with some of the options and features of the software make it very
easy for you to customize things and use the product to showcase just
about anything you would like.

For those who may be interested in participating in the beta test or
would like to see the features and other details about vBadvanced
Blogicles, please see the thread below from our Announcements forum.

It looks very promising. Any thoughts?

seems like a good idea, but still looks too much like vb threads with slight layout change, reminds of a very simple GARS

I already paid for GARS so this is too little too late.
