Word is out.  One of Xanga's more extensively read bloggers, numanga,  published the link for Xanga's early beta of new Social Networking features.  So I imagine that within days it will be rampant as common knowledge throughout the realm.

I know the beta isn't prime time yet.  I've been testing it for about a week and sending bug reports and some of my impressions about it to John.    I sure hope too many people don't embrace it now without understanding that there are still some serious big-time bugs in it and other functions that will likely be changed/enhanced before the 'official release'.
