XANGA FALL DOWN...
GO BOOM!
Well, here we are! We've reached the point a great many of us knew was approaching. Xanga can't continue, and they are asking for financial help from the members. I haven't been around much of late. I'm not nearly as bothered as Xangans who blog everyday. I would miss Xanga if it goes away, but I would survive. I do have one other blog site, but I don't use it much right now. Here is the address if you'd like to find me:

I'm also going to set up a WordPress site, to see if I like it better. When I get it set up I'll post that addy here as well.
When something isn't working sometimes we have to step back, take a hard look, objectively, and let go. I'm not saying I want Xanga to go away, nor am I suggesting merely give up. I'm talking about why Xanga has arrived at this point. Life support, for humans, is just that, support. What life support can't give you is the ability to experience life as you'd want to. If Xanga is dying life support will keep it going for awhile, but death will still, eventually, come. It maybe the best answer is pulling the plug and letting go. Again I'm not saying I want Xanga to die, but I wish people would take some time to look at the situation, as objectively as each is able. Is it time for Xanga to go the way of TWA, Woolworths, and Hostess Twinkies?

It's definitely sad for me if it closes. If it does, I'll see you on WP.
It might! I sent you a note on FB, hope you are well, friend!
I'll see you on WordPress maybe.
It seemed inevitable after the disappointing mobile app. It's gonna be difficult to continue in a market without a decent, usable mobile app. Anyway, I'll be sad, but it won't kill me.
Thanks for your Blogspot address. I'm hoping Xanga 2.0 will become a reality, but if Xanga bites the dust, I'm planning to blog at WordPress. (I've got blogs as holding places at both Blogger & WordPress.) I'll be posting / passing along that link along later on...
