Day: February 6, 2008

  • Once upon a time in xangaland when the firmament was first coalescing (late 2000 and on into part of 2001), you could read and comment on every xangan's post(s) every day.  It took about a half hour to do so.  Such was the territory of xangaville.  Because it was all so new to everyone, it was captivating.  Because of its worldwide embracing scope, it was demographically exciting.  Because of its still manageable small scale, it was entirely conquerable and knowable.  Everyone could  know everyone.  And many did.  And there were a lot of 'firsts', too.  You could be the first to say, or do, or use your blog in a never-before-used way simply because practically nothing had been tried before.  So I became the first to embed a live webcam in my blog - which then soon became a live mobile webcam where I traveled about and solicited comments while yet in my car or, on a few occasions, in Dreamland cemetery.  It was xangadelic.  And I was the first, also, to embed a xanga group chat on my site -  it served to bring quite a few early xangans together into the first "realtime" group contact with one another.  Bigtime xangapartytime.

    Reminiscing.   What memories have you of the way "things used to be" in xangaville that are now everlost in this xangacosmos system?
