After having noodled around on xanga for just a tick over four years, I think I'm a-ready to be blogging somewhere else.  Yeah, I know.  In an effort to survive, xanga has all these nifty newfangled social subsections microtargeting it's primary readership/writership.  I could, I suppose, have drifted over to revelife with my other co-Jesus-ists.  I'm not well positioned for datingish, given that polyamory just ain't my thing.  And...what's their new one...travelicious?  Travelumptious?  I barely ever leave the house.

As a platform for blogging, well, it's kinda meh.  I mean, gracious....no "save a draft" function?  No easily plugged in widgets or doohickeys?  And...eprops?  Eprops???

Ultimately, I think what I'm just done with xanga is that it's replicated the AOL business model for blogs.  It's a vast, immense, dynamic multiplatform blogosphere out there.  There are brilliant folks blogging on Wordpress and blogger and elsewhere....and xanga just doesn't provide an equivalent interface.  It comes across as insular.  Or, at least, I perceive it that way.

On the other hand, it is a blog.  It's a log.  On the web.  You write stuff on it.   That's simple.   I suppose I could just stick around.  But I follow folks via feed now.  Xanga is...superfluous.  So I'm going to gradually migrate away to my blogger site.  It can be accessed at belovedspear.org, too.
