Xanga
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Xanga is a weblog service that seems to be popular with the younger crowd. Though few thought it possible, the creators somehow managed to find LiveJournal AND DeadJournal rejects to form an even more vile e-"community". As with LiveJournal, users can post comments and give e-props (not to be confused with e-points) to other users' entries. E-props are an ingenious method of comparing online popularity, also known as e-penis length.
Interestingly enough, Xanga users (colloquially called "Xangans") are primarily Asian, while LiveJournal users are primarily white. Race war? We hope so.
Xangas also help to perpetuate not actually talking to anyone. Most Xanga users never leave their room, unless going to empty their pepsi bottles filled with urine.

[edit] Fun With Xanga
Xanga recently added a 'footprints' feature, allowing users to see not only exactly who visted their site, but where they were visiting from. Some saw this as pointless, as at least 100 members already had independent tracker software, but the ability to see the source of their pages link added a whole new aspect of fun. Some members found that this could be manipulated to the advantage of trolls: Type in random shit into the blog search, click every page that comes up, sit back, and enjoy the reactions of people who see that their site was referred to by "Animals fucking tubgirl pictures" in the search engine. Lulz guaranteed.
