Xanga

Hey

Leah posted something the other day on her blog about how things use to be back when she was on Xanga.

It was a while ago. When we were new to the blog-o-sphere.

Back when people use to blog to speak to complete strangers across the internet. It was when people invited you to learn more about them, albeit in their own private manner.

And to be honest- I’m not so sure the blogging thing seems nearly as cool to anyone now as it was then. Plus now on many levels there is censorship. Corporate or individual. Teacher or Child. Employer or employee. The internet is no longer a blogging safe haven or something you can turn to for complete anonymity.

It’s just a sign of the times. Facebook posts and tweets can hold up in the court of law as much as a blog.

It makes me – even if only a little – miss the days of what seems so long ago but is actually just a few years at most. I admit it, from time to time I’ve checked up on blogs from my subscriptions on Xanga, but hardly anybody posts anything anymore. I can’t really blame them. When they do it doesn’t always feel the same…

Even I went underground for a while, but hey at least I’ve surfaced. No longer attached to Xanga or worried if anyone reads my words as they type out- just back to the basics.

Until next time

just Pray
