What does "Xanga" mean?

It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. We just wanted a name that sounded fun, but was still short and sweet. Xanga fit the bill.

We pronounce it "ZANG-uh"

Could you use Xanga in a sentence?

Sure, here are a couple of sentences:

  • "I checked out my Xanga Site today and saw that someone had left a comment."
  • "I went to Xanga today and browsed through the posts in Featured
    Content."

We've even seen Xanga used as a verb:

  • I Xanga'd today for a few hours

What do Xanga members call each other?

We've heard it all: Xangans, Xangites, Xanganites...

We prefer "Xangans". Here's our logic: if you live in Europe, you're a European; if you live in Asia, you're an Asian; and if you live in Australia, you're an Australian.

So naturally if you live on Xanga, you're a Xangan! :-)
