Last night, I committed myself to remaining a perfect physical recluse by staying in the house.  With a little bit of head congestion and only three xangans stopping by to chat on my xanga blogchat,  I ended up with unprofound time on my hands.  So being a bit silly, I pushed out the post on the “crazytext” below,  a light-content post that I felt might be of amusing interest to everyone.  But then I got to thinking: Being a GOOD xanganthropologist might require more than just aloof observation.  So I decided, what the hell, I’d slip into the xangan Azn newbie pool and, through the construction of a “parallelism” , make some comparisons.

So what I did was post my “crazytext” post to another old spoof blog, mix, and “prop”. Well, actually, I went eProps literally since that is the other blog.

So here are some assorted observations of what I found:

While the “crazytext” post here seemed relatively visitorless ( 7 comments-thnx!), eProps was hot with 45 comments.  So eProps was much more “happening” on a Saturday night.

With some of the xangabies (aka “xanga newbies”, “xanga babies”), returning eProps and comments is an important courtesy.  We tend to call this: good manners (“please and thank you”).

Almost half of the sites had “broken” comment boxes due to reckless implementation of javascripting.  Hence, it took the “extra” work-around step just to leave a comment.  Yet it largely appears that most visitors just accept the inconvenience and leave their comments anyway.

Some of the xangabies treasure Premium so much (but, for whatever reason, are unable/unwilling to buy it) that they’ll abandon an old successful blog to establish a new one and get the free trial Premium again.

Some of the blogs encountered had truly profound feelings expressed: if I would have stolen the content, sharpened them up wordage-wise somewhat, and re-presented them here, you might think I was the reincarnation of Jean-Paul Sartre or Ezra Pound.

There’s not such thing as a “bad” or “unworthy” blog no matter how tortured it is, if it’s sincere and non-malicious: it’s all growth in process as a moment of unforced sharing.

I encountered no blogs complaining of blog-harassment and saw no signs of harassment.   Though it might yet exist amongst the xangabies, is it possible that the “harassment concern” (which john -- xanga ceo-type -- seems constantly consumed with) is more of a non-Azn thing?  And if so, why the distinction?

Propping repetitively got rid of my head congestion but strained my forearm

In any case, I feel that I established some goodwill amongst the Azn xangabie crowd. And if there ever arises a need or a desire for me to try to get a message out to all of Xanga undivided, I’m here blogging as usual, but talking as eProps to those who are dealing most avidly in that currency exchange.
