Sen No Sen

I’ve just had an eye-opening look at the Alexa Top 100: most popular English language sites on the web! (compare with the Global Top 500)

Who would’ve guessed that Xanga would rank 12th! (i.e. 25th overall)

Having a blog service rank that high says a great deal about how far weblogs have come these days.

The fact that Xanga blows away the likes of Blogpot (64th and 136th overall) and Typepad (711th overall) I would never have dreamt.

Mind you, I find Yahoo at the top quite surprising too.

No sense in quoting from it - just read it.

As usual, Robin Good just keeps pounding out high quality, professional posts.

His latest detailed rundown of the new grassroots news sharing community, Take Back The News, is another splendid example of how to do it right.

Pure inspiration.

A new blogging service (at least for me) catering to a teens ‘n twenties demographic.

1,000 user icons per user, 1GB Free Photo Hosting in the Photo Gallery, send pics from your cell phone, create custom styles and mood themes, private messages, instant notifications on replies and friends updates, see list of “friends online:”, RSS and much more - and yes, everything at GreatestJournal is free

700,000 members in its first year = Impressive.
