oh yeah, 20six will eventually go down the same or near path of overlaod as xanga.  but in the meanwhile, they are fast, furious, and free.  while xanga appears stagnant, moribund, and droll. 

I have highspeed access which furnishes me approx. 12 MB of download per minute.  and it took half a minute to load, for example, pprjournal's page just now.  WTF?  it even took 10 seconds to load my own 45 kb button flash at the top of this page.  this performance is ossifying and self-committing to a dusty death.

more to the point: what has anyone in charge of xanga said of this degradation lately?  not shit.  either they are clueless or they went dirt cheap with the latest 'greatest' bandwidth provider.  and it's the internet's dirt they have left us to grovel in. 

it's summer and I'm still waiting for spring's blossoms to bloom. so here's a *kiss* and *kiss* and *kiss*.  until faces called flowers float out of the ground.

Most of us here above are Bi- although a couple are Ex- vis-a-vis the new startup blog 20six and the xanga mothership.

John. Marc. Monsur: Fix xanga before Reef and TheCrimsonNinja nail me.

btw, 20six has two other sibling sites, too.  20six in French and 20six in German.  Publishing in one, you can't login or publish in the others, but your username is oddly reserved.
