These days, it's harder to come up with an excuse as to why you can't be in the loop when everything is available in the Internets, as former U.S. President George W. Bush so casually called it. From "helpful" search engines to your "trusted" social networking site, being "anonymous" is the tougher job. People may or may not know your real name, but your inputs is bound to leave an impression--however fleeting or lasting.
Depending on whom is reading, you will either make a lot of sense, or none at all. You will make friends as well as enemies, depending on whose side you're on. Because everything is up for debate. Be it Madonna or Angelina Jolie adopting kids from countries not many people can locate on a map, or how to react to that octuplet mom raising a total of 14 kids. Yes, 14. And you thought keeping up with two-year-olds was hard.
Still, I'm glad I have Xanga where I can write about stuff I normally don't talk about on other sites. Besides, Twitter only gives you roughly five seconds--whatever you can cram into 140 characters. You don't really know if your MySpace friends really care about your "bulletins" or how Facebook completely paints a different picture of your character, based on the applications you keep wasting your time on. Xanga provides that outlet where you can just stop and collect your thoughts...before you inadvertently make a fool of yourself.
