…free blog vs paid…
it’s true that many people don’t see the point in paid blogging. Even I don’t really see the point. honestly, if I wanted to go to wordpress, I would have. But, it’s not necessarily all that simple is it? The community that has been created here just isn’t the same as any other blogging website. sure, you can have a blogroll with extensions to other people’s blogs, but how much do you really know these people? I’ve felt at one time or another that I’ve gotten to know some people very well. Though, I don’t know if others feel the same too. I’ve always been on the fringes of this community- the floating stalker of people’s blogs. I have never met the people I’ve subbed, but have I ever wanted to? yeah, you really can count on me wanting to.
with 5 days to go and a need of just over (?) 15k left to go to hit our mark, will xanga make it? or is it going to be another social sharing site that’ll go down the tubes? or perhaps there just wasn’t enough sub base to raise this amount? I don’t think the latter is the issue though.
I guess these days, to open your heart is like opening your wallets. not everyone has that big of a wallet, but that doesn’t mean that they all have small hearts- some might. like me, I’m in between jobs, trying to figure out what to do with my life- I simply just don’t have all that money to give. though I did pledge because I really wanted to see where xanga would go.
With this month coming to it’s end, I really do hope they’ll reach their goal. I really hope to be there for the remake of xanga 2.0

The problem is that the Xanga community has been in decline for quite some time. And thanks to the announcement of the Xangapocalypse, virtually everyone has abandoned ship. The community they were trying to save is already lost.
