  • Four blogs back (Massive Spikes....), a Xangan named bob left a comment of concern for the "negativity" he was discerning in some of the comments on that blog. 


    I slammed bob pretty hard because I thought one of the other Xanga admins was posing, i.e., wearing an alias mask.  It turns out that *bob* was not a mere alias as I (wrongly) surmised, but is in actuality john's brother and an investor in Xanga.


    Once I was enlightened, I responded with this comment:


    bob,


    My apology to you.  You've kept such a low-profile for so long that I miscontrued your presence.  And believe me, I understand the *oversensitivity*.  By the way, thanks for the stats, I collect them!


    Let's never forget: Peeps are peeps, and we all have feelings.


    The stats, he shared, by the way were this:


    I see how everyone on the Xanga team works their ass off to scale a user base that grows at 5% a week, with pageviews growing at 10% a week. (Put another way, Xanga's user base doubles every 3 months and pageviews double every 7 weeks.)

    Another way to look at that, if the trend were to continue, would be to predict that there would be over 12 million Xangans in the year 2004.  Now that would be incredible.
