Good

Plugz - Xanga Plugz are a great idea and I'm glad Xanga added them. It's a great way to bring exposure to fellow Xanga sites. I have plugz turned on even though I have Premium.

Speed - One of the problems I have with Myspace is that it seems uber slow, especially with all of the widgets people tac onto their sites. But Xanga has done a good job with keeping their hardware and software up to date, which, from my experience, has created a fairly quick site.

Bad

Simple Cell Phone access - I can easily access Facebook, comment on pages and look through photos on my nokia 5310 cell phone. I can't with Xanga, so I've been using Facebook more lately (even though I prefer Xanga).

Xanga Ideas - I've actually spent money on Plugz promoting my ideas, yet probably won't anymore until I understand how the ideas page works. For example, only a few of the hundreds of ideas that were submitted have been implimented, and some of those ideas only had a few votes. I don't like promoting an idea if I don't know if it has even a chance of being considered. I also think the ideas page should function more like Digg, where entries are searchable and categorized. I hate scrolling through pages looking for a specific topic. 

Ugly

Ish Sites - I've never really been on the bandwagon of bashing the Ish sites. Yet they are starting to feel impersonal and therefore no longer Xangaish.   I get frustrated when I look at the top of Xanga's home page and see some post titled "Have You Tried Nutella?" from a site called "I really like food". I would *much* rather see Xanga featuring photos, videos and audio from fellow Xangan's sites. Xanga has some great multimedia platforms and they should advertise them, bringing more traffic to artistic Xangans in the process.

What do you like/dislike about Xanga?
