In response to eneventure : I think what it means is that the Xanga people have found some new marketing tool they can use that requires more information from us. Maybe not more information but it would really help them out if we updated their files:) Because when I got those Emails from my favorite people I, of course, went to do it. But when prompted to start filling stuff out I baulked. People, we are already friends. Let’s keep it here.

How do you do all this nudge and email your friends and invite them. I don’t really know I have so many friends on Xanga that I don’t have time to write them all everyday. I am glad you are one of them, Judi
Hey, we agree on something!! Cheers Also I think this new venture is why photo are not uploading.
Yah, photo uploading not working purely SUCKS…how can I write without pictures??? OK, that’s just me, you write just fine without the pictures…marilyn
We ARE friends….it’s not up and running yet! Not to worry!
i can see your point of view, but i love the chatbox. i find that i can have a running dialogue w/someone w/o putting in their comment box. that’s the best part of it, and i find it a bit frustrating already when someone i want to talk to doesn’t have me on their list yet. funny how quickly i adapted!
i know a lot of the older xangans are feeling the same way as you do and i wonder if there is a breakdown of adaptation by age. i haven’t really checked on that tho. for me it isn’t about friendship as much as another way to communicate, but i respect your opinion and decision! 
I am in whole hearted agreement. I have no time for it. However, I did send one out to my sister who is befuddled by such things just to be a little pain in her backside for a moment. She’ll get me back I’m sure. It disturbs me a bit because I don’t know the etiquette around it. But you’ve gone and given permission for us to keep it the same, so kudos! and Thank you!
Marketing sex to kids, nudge nudge, hook ups, even virtual ones. The proof will be in the ads they use. I found the opt out links and clicked them. I don’t need any more community, I blog when I want, I read people I find interesting when I want and they read me to (sometimes), that’s friendship. Why do you need nudges as well as comments?
I always hated Nudges in elementary school, almost worse than Wedgies, Indianburns, and purple nurples.
I’ve responded to a few friend links, but I haven’t added any biographitti or cleared away any of the early disinformation.
Whatever the gain is here, my clueless streak stumbles toward Bethlehem uninterrupted. I still have trouble with protected posts
hahaha…I have no idea what you’re talking about, but stick to your guns! :>) And yes, I agree with your comment…you are so right! :>)
The ‘older Xangans’ eh? So 51 is young?
If you have any kind of chatbox on Xanga, it means you are going to keep you Xanga page open as long as you are online and are a sitting target for ads. They will get round the no ads. on premium thing I’m sure.
It doesn’t look like I’m on your protected list.
RYC: It’s just the publishers who are going to be at this show in NYC. None of them wants to see fictiion, probably because they are inundated with it. More pubs may show up before the show starts.

my reaction exactly to those networking invites.
Deek really is cute isn’t he? He’s smart as a whip too and a sweet disposition like Carry, his mom…I don’t have the option you are referring to, but don’t think I will want it anyway, too much to read and write when I’m here, I don’t need chatting or at least YET..marilyn
RYC: Well, I stil can’t read your protected post if it’s posted Wednesday. I’ve had many screwups on my own protected-post thing and actually had to send it to some people via e-mail–even though they were on the list.
As for the publishers, this is just for a journalists’ convention. Don’t get worried. It’s not any kind of trend, and believe me, the last time I went to one of these they said that memoirs sell poorly and they don’t want to see anymore of the. Just keep writing what you are writing.

Yes Pru-dance…I am with you. I too am making room in my life for a good man to walk beside me, sharing and co-creating this adventure called life. I am open to the challenges for I have had a life of learning, growing and becomming. Yes…I think I am finally ready! I always appreciate hearing your thoughts.
Oh, too bad you weren’t able to understand or if I wasn’t clear. I’m glad that you liked the bluebonnets.
Three hours difference…! Except for one tutoring session, I was here all day with my daughter (who’s seriously dieting on vegetables & eggs only & has lost 7 lbs in a week, I’m worried). I’ll be around tonight. *hugs xo
rcy: clemintines are very small sweet oranges, kind of like a tangelo or tangerine.
