Mostly I am angry that every day they add more crap to xanga. I do not want to spend credits on minis and I thought subscriptions were a perfectly elegant form of social networking but I guess we need messaging and friends as well because myspace has them and by all means lets take the simple functional and beautiful and degrade it, xanga crew.
I’m sure the best audience to pander too is the hyperkinetic highschool douche set that wants very much to “pimp ” their xanga with all sorts of sparkly shit and stuff, never mind that these things are the internet equivalent of the singing plastic fish.

Do you think I’m too stupid to buy a domain and install wordpress on it? I’m not. I’m not stupid at all, most days.
