  • Little Things About Xanga That Bug the Shit Out of Me

    I'm glad so many of you agreed with me on my last post about You-Know-Who. I was expecting more of a backlash, but I suppose those who didn't agree with me knew it was best to keep their mouth shut. After all, have you ever seen what a black woman's acrylic nails can do to a skank's face?

    Anyway, since I was on the topic of things that bugged me about Xanga and people who blog on Xanga, I guess I'll continue my tirade. Just think of me as the Sojourner Truth of Xanga. Except I'm a much better pop-locker-and-dropper than she ever was.

    Here are the things that bug me in order of their importance:

    1. People who copy and paste something "cute" they found on the internet without giving the source. Then it ends up getting 50 recommendations because other people thought it was "cute". Plagiarism is not cute in my book of ghetto principles, and by rec'ing it, you're promoting unoriginality.

    2. Something I've noticed about bloggers who get a lot of comments is that they tend to only respond to the negative feedback while completely ignoring the good feedback. I believe it's called "feeding the trolls", which is a practice that is strongly preached against in the blogging world. Why the hell don't they focus on the good comments instead and reply with a simple "Thanks for reading!" It doesn't have to be clever or fancy. But don't ignore the good comments and then only respond to the negative. Not everyone is going to like you - fuckin' deal with it! And by deal with it, I mean pay attention to the people who DO like you.

    3. The "woe is me" people who talk about the consequences of having a "popular" blog on Xanga. Puh-leeze. Boo-hoo, you get 1,500 footprints (500 of them from bots probably) and feel you just can't deal with the pressure sometimes. Then you talk about how people only use your name to gain traffic. Ha! Who do you think you are?! Honestly, anyone who gets more than 500 footprints a day here on Xanga automatically considers themselves an internet celebrity. You have a popular blog on Xanga! Woo-hoo! You have a hundred emotionally-unstable girls who blindly follow you like a herd of retarded sheep! Congratulations on your $5-a-day Google Adsense salary!

    4. You know how the sister sites use posts written by Xanga bloggers? Well, I don't like it when I see the Ish post and the original post both in Top Blogs. It's redundant, and if I wanted motha-fuckin' redundancy, I'd make a list of things that bug me about Xanga.

    There's four things. It might look like a more complete list with five things, but this bitch is hungry.
