Xanga (ZANG-uh) is an Internet Web host that provides its users (community)
with access to their own online diaries and journals (often called
blogs). A person who belongs to the Xanga community is
called a "Xangan". If someone has a Web blog on Xanga, they are being referred
to as "having a Xanga." Xanga services are most popular with youth and
young adults. Along with its popularity among younger people, Xanga has been
mentioned in major news publications worldwide as many law enforcement agencies
believe that many of the 91 percent of some 40 million users aged 13 to 29 are
revealing too much personal information about themselves on Xanga journals.
