While John is trying to assure the appropriateness of assorted Xanga posts for minors through implementation of the new rating sytem, SmutVibes, a new full-featured weblog startup, has gone to the other extreme of simply prohibiting minors (ineffectively, of course, through mere registration affirmation of being at least 18 years old) and strongly encouraging "adult" nudity, naughtiness, and nookie-pandering.

The funniest damn thing is that the parent company for SmutVibes is also the host of ChristianVibes, "a Christian social network.".  I guess it's the 'Vibes-thing' they have in common.
