Xanga, one of the world’s biggest blogging communities with around 27 million users, launched a video product yesterday. Xanga Videos offers unlimited video hosting for all Xanga members, whether they have free or paid accounts. However, it’s not clear whether the unlimited hosting will be permanent. Xanga Videos also provides options to link to the videos and embed them in Xanga blogs and elsewhere (MySpace, hi5, Piczo, Multiply etc). If you’re a Xanga member, you’ll see your own videos at videos.xanga.com - if not, you’ll see nothing (although you can view the intro video here). And that’s a massive, massive problem - unlike YouTube and MySpace Video, there’s no centralized place to explore the video content. Instead, you have to stumble upon videos by visiting individual profile pages and blogs.
Xanga is a community of online diaries and journals. You can easily start your own free journal, share thoughts with your friends and meet new friends, too.
