If Hong Kong is any indication, the brightest possible future for Xanga lies in expanding quickly to China.

See Xanga vs. Myspace trends here.  Then click on the 'Regions' tab.

Also, my undefined site, which holds the Xanga Best record (determined by the Xanga dashboard) for Most Footprints, displays a preponderance of hits as originating from Hong Kong.  So many, in fact, that I'm contemplating putting some click-thru ads in Chinese on the page in order to ride the Hong Kong wave.

I asked John in a phone conversation a while ago if Xanga had any plans in expanding to China.  And he indicated that negotiations with Chinese representatives were being considered sometime in the near future.  There's always the Chinese state-sponsored "censorship" issue.  hrmmm...a touchy subject.

I studied Chinese for several years some years ago.  I've been brushing up on my reading and speaking skills in this area lately.  By the end of summer, I should be ready for China.  Bring it on, Xanga!

Oh yeah, by the way, "Xanga" is the name of an ancient Chinese tribe. 

In my opinion, not a coincidence!
