New Feature: Recommending Comments on Xanga
Ever come across a comment so good and so profound that you wish you could recommend it to everyone? Or ever write a comment so scintillating that you wish you could share it with all of your friends?
Well, now you can! Today we're announcing two new features:
- Comment Recs: if you see a great comment written by someone else, now you can click to "recommend" it
- Comment Sharing: if you write a great comment (and let's be honest: they're all pretty great, aren't they?), now you can just check the box to "Share this comment" and it'll get published to your feed.
To help us test this new feature, please comment on this post and share it with your Xanga friends. Or you can just scan for the wittiest or metaphysically truthiest comments by other Xangans and click to rec them.
On your mark.. get set... comment!
Comments (139)
Penis!
@ShimmerBodyCream - Your comments are usually pretty witty... this one is below your standards.
@john - You think I'm witty.
@ShimmerBodyCream - Correction. I thought you were witty!
@john - New Xanga Project: Heartbreak smiley.
Unfortunately, though, when I try to comment on a post, although it acts as if the comment has registered it does not show up on the post.
woohoo!
YOWZER!
This is nice! I like!
Rec pulses! Rec pulses!
@Queen_of_You188 - agreed! soon
@ShimmerBodyCream - VAGINA!
Sharing and recommending comments reminds me of "liking" everything associated with Facebook.
@john - Iuno, when I think of @ShimmerBodyCream penis usually plays some part in it.
@ShimmerBodyCream - No. You can't haz my penis!
@Cliffycliffz - Yeah, but unlike Facebook, this doesn't tell us WHO rec'd the comment. Let the anonymous REC'ing commence! lol
@marc - Yay!
@ShimmerBodyCream - MICHAEL JACKSON!
The highest recommended comments should show up first on your blog when you get comments on a blog. Does that make sense to anyone but me? Okay, good.
Dear Team,
At this point in time, I'm not really sure if I would "recommend" this feature or not. I can hardly make time to comment myself, and rarely read the comments of others. What I predict are dozens more "recommends" in my inbox from the same Xangans who are constant recommenders. However without constant posters, and constant recommenders, we wouldn't have a community here.
So bravo for adding the feature. It's the "group" which makes a feature good or bad, not the feature itself.
One upgrade I'd really like to see would be to upgrade the video sections on Xanga so that I can post my widescreen HD content to my blog instead of embedding from YouTube. At one time Xanga seemed to promote video sharing and even had a "top blogs" sort of page for video content. (Back in the "boost" and "stars" days.) But the video pages are now woefully outdated, and the resolution is terrible, compared to YouTube, Vimeo, or other video sharing sites.
My jury is out on this one for the time being. I certainly don't think I'd want to "share" my own comments. A comment is personal, directed to the blogger on whose site I decide to comment. Sometimes I might make the time to read the comments sections of a particular entry, but don't know if I'd want to "share" any of them with my subscribers/friends.
Keep up the good work,
Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
Here comes all the penis and boob comments. Here I thought I was going to be original. I should have known shimmer would beat me to it.
@TheTheologiansCafe - You could've made a race joke simply to spite people.
Dear Team,
Mike has expressed pretty much my sentiment. My hope is that we will actually be motivated to give better comments. Fortunately my friends are all people who participate in Xanga as a community and most of their recommendations are worth following. Initially I will follow those recommends on comments ... time will tell if it is worth the while or not.
Thank you however for trying to make Xanga a place where a unique community can prosper.
Regards
@deposed - Uh...
@ShimmerBodyCream - @john - but john, the fact that it was exceptionally less witty than usual actually makes it *more* witty. especially in this context. you see what i'm driving at? well...at least the argument can be made.
@deposed - That's not irritating at all.
@ducklingpark - Do you MIND, good sir?!
cool beans.
Horrible idea. More spam...
Interesting.
Is there a way to turn off the recommend link so one's comments can't be rec'd?
@ShimmerBodyCream - Awww, I still think you're witty!
This is cool.
These are actually interesting ideas. I wanted something like this years ago.
However, now I no longer use my xanga "feed" for much of anything as my activity has moved to other feed systems like RSS and twitter. These days every platform wants you to use their feed, but there's really only so many disconnected feeds a person can monitor comfortably. At least for me it becomes a chore to have to switch between the various platforms to see what people are up to.
But this will likely be good for those xangans who use Xanga as their primary online home and who are really engaged in the commenting community aspect of Xanga. I think the slight spamming effect will be dwarfed by the increased interactivity as it draws people into discussions of other users comment sections. That could make for a more vibrant discussion community, or it could also leads to many more flame wars and an increased feeling of lack of privacy online.
Still kudos for pushing the envelop and trying new things. Just don't be surprised if there's a huge backlash. This could be a pretty big change to the way users interact with Xanga. Please be responsive to the users and modify or remove the feature should it become more of a hindrance than a help.
Thank you. I was waiting for that.
I really love this new feature! =)
Should shorten recommend to just "rec".
Anyway, if the xanga team is somehow reading this comment, please enable a "liking" or "favoriting" feature for entries. (:
Are you also going to have Pulse recs?
The spammers and trolls will have a field day with this new feature.
@free2chuze - you'd only get shared/rec'd comments from spammers if you subscribed to them or were friends with them...
I was waiting for this feature. Thank you.
hey! loving the new changes!
just confused - if I "share" my comment where does it show up? It would be cool if it made a post to my page, with a link to which post it was, but I'm not sure if that's what it does haha
This comment should not be recommended, but I'll be happy to share it or even recommend it if the fancy strikes me.
*Fancy Stricken* except I can't rec my own comment. Let's see....
@raspberryjade - it adds the comment to your "public feed" (the list of your updates that gets sent to all your xanga friends and subscribers)... it's in interesting thought to let it be something that appears as a published post on your site - might make an interesting option.
I love that you are all trying new things and wish you luck with it.
This is awesome!
I kinda like this idea
laputta
calma ,,, Calma,,, Jop**ta
interesting!!!
To answer your post's two opening questions, "No," and, "No." Maybe I'm in the minority, but it seems a little too Facebookesque for my tastes. Hopefully people will use this feature responsibly.
@Cliffycliffz - It is and I'm trying to get away from facebook. I don't care for it that much.
To be honest, it's tempting the ocd side of my brain to self-combust.
@Queen_of_You188 - AHahahahaha
@AlluringAddiction - Vigina always deserves a rec!
On the private page, can you make a separate part for this new comment-related stuff? So the comment recs aren't all mixed with the regular recs?
I just figured out how to put "Smiley's" into my comments and now I have to figure this out!?
I'm going to need an assistant.
This would explain why I got someone else's comment in my personal feed today. I was all "wait, did someone hijack so-and-so's page and meld it with mine??" lol.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.
~V
@Queen_of_You188 - Dear Xanga- I demand the right to rec every single pulse made by Queenie, even if it's a BURP!
Hmm...any way to NOT see comment recs? Turn them off or filter them out? My feed is already pretty flooded. But I'm glad you are working on Xanga!
As a work in progress, this is moving along. Slowly, but nicely.
THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT EVER
@Lithium98 - lulz XD
You win the internets!
Problem: when I tried to edit a reply to a shared comment, it didn't work.
@methodElevated - I can totally see this feature being used for the most evil of things. I like it!
support!!!
Cool. Can you start on something about the spammers? Can we get a Report/Flag for Spam feature or voting option like some social networking sites have (facebook/youtube/forums) that'll hide them automatically once flagged or when they get enough downvotes?
Thank you for continually striving to improve our site!
It would have been nice if we could have voted for this rec feature.
I can see the point in this although I don't like the fact that we have the power to rec our own comments. Xangans are abusing that power already.
@bluepillorredpill - I agree, it's been confusing the hell outta me that comments not directed to me have been popping up.....i liked it how it was to be honest.
I don't really think it was necessary but if many wanted it.. I do remember wanting to rec what someone said in a comment but it was once in 9 years of using Xanga. I would much rather be able to rec pulses!
Also, maybe use a different colour heart or call it something else? I click on the recs thinking they are posts but they are comments.
Xanga, you need an iPhone/smart phone app! I was browsing the apps and saw even tumblr has one. I'd really like to see one for Xanga.
@DoritosforBreakfast - I think a Xanga app would be great! It would make things so much easier. I have an iPod Touch & droid phone so I'm wondering what platform they'd release it on first. It seems like Xanga is the only social networking site without an app. Yeah you can text your pulse updates but that isn't the same! It would even be neat if they used the same set-up as their mobile web browser. I've been waiting for a Xanga app for a long time. I think a lot of people would use it, plus some people who didn't know about Xanga might come across in their app store & try it out. I hope they get one soon.
It's a neat idea, but the universal inbox needs more organization to handle something like that. The way it is just makes it harder to see who posted.
@Lithium98 - Bah! With this comment I CHALLENGE!
Yay!
@bluepillorredpill - Agreed. I'm not really digging how random comments are showing up in my feed. I wish they went into a sub-feed, like "Rec'd Comments". The main feed is already so cluttered.
i think there should be an xanga app for ipods/iphones. that would be AMAZING!
i also sometimes wish that you could send text messages to update your post. that would be great too.

I do not like the feature as implemented. My home page feed is already too cluttered with what other people want to put into it, through pulses and post recs. Now people can fill my feed with comment recs too. It makes it harder for me to keep up with my actual friends. If xanga did one of two things, the feature would be better:
1) allow us easily to filter what appears in our main news feed, so we can choose not to have recs in our main feed, by default; or
2) have comment recs go into a separate feed that we can click on if we want to see what comments have been rec'ed by our friends.
As it works now, the feature is oppressive.

Cool
@john - Proving to be rather interesting already. Nice upgrade.
Since the rec'd feed is only recommending someone else's comment on my post ( a comment that might be hostile or insulting), but it takes anybody following it back to my post (to observe that possible rant or moment of hostility), I should have the option of turning off the use of "Share this comment" on my blog if I so desire. I should have the option of 1) turning it off altogether or 2) turning it off post by post.
Imagine someone very popular with lots of followers who simply wants to heartlessly pummel someone with an insulting comment--someone perhaps not so popular--by leaving that insulting comment on the victim's post and then self-promoting it. How would that not-so-popular blogger feel realizing that the record number of visits she just received were due not to her popularity or the attractiveness of her post, but due solely to the popularity of the self-promoting insulter? You have just empowered the bully. Re-empower those who don't want to risk such bullying by allowing them to turn-off "Share this comment" on their own posts.
Yes, the not-so-popular (or maybe even somewhat or enormously popular) victim of such a ploy can still delete the offending comment. If they catch it in time. But in the meantime, there's a potential for hyper-promoted bullying: bullying her not just in front of her audience, but in front of the bully's own following.
Is this trip really needed? Tinker and tinker until you break it.
@bluepillorredpill - If voting mattered it would be made illegal.
Lol, now there are going to be a lot more people opening fake accounts to rec their own post and comments
@AlluringAddiction - Agreed x 29.
@xanger_doesnt_do_anything_4u - @cacklesc - @yourmomhadanabortion - @gooffyourselfcuunttwwat - @sodeposed -
Why the fuck are you spending so much time and effort creating multiple accounts and spamming comments that can easily be ignored/deleted? Are you unemployed or something?
Now, I want to recommend recommendations.
So much love here.
the recommendations sounds pretty solid and good
DISLIKE. DISLIKE!!!!!
xanga - you are brilliant. Again!
I just noticed that today thanks for telling me what it is.
I think this is a silly, needless idea.
@ShimmerBodyCream - Nice.
Okay, that's all fine and dandy, but why is it when I was trying to comment on my friend's site a little while ago there was a limit to how many characters I could post in the comment box? I had to spam her page with like 4 comments in order to get out what I wanted to say...but yet this page doesn't have it. -me is confused?-
I agree with AirborneMuse! And clearly Xanga needs to proactively moderate the crazies if it is to remain viable. I mean presently the community is sliding toward an abyss.
Mixed feelings on this one.
Is there a way to recommend a comment, but not have it show up on your feed? Sort of like if a person decided to scroll through the comments, they'll see which ones were "liked." It's kind of weird seeing rec'd comments on feeds because I have no idea what the hell the comment is about, especially if users are on Friends Lock.
-ray leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@jigg - if the rec'd or shared comment is on a post to which you do not have access (e.g. friends locked), you should not see the rec/share in your feed... are you seeing any feed items from posts to which you don't have access?
Hello and good day to all. I am new here learning what I can as I look around? I must say thanks for the good laugh reading your comments about this new feature on zanga. And hope to meet some Boobs and a Vagina soon?
this is a neat feature.
+1
cool feature, this will keep me using Xanga
I am signed in but unable to access private page. I can
visit my public page. I can comment on other people's pages and I am
signed in but I am unable to access my private page! I know that many others on Xanga are also having the same issue.
I know this has nothing to do with the topic but my Xanga is NOT working and it has been this way for over three weeks. Now I can't even pulse! I left a post about this in Xanga Help but you never got back to me there. Who can I contact to sort this out for me? Thanks in advance xx
Wow! Thank you so much for fixing it
That was really fast! xx
Oh I just noticed when signed in on my phone, I can't access my private page still. However from my computer, I can.
Wen a needle falls into a deep well,many people look into the well but only few will be ready to go down after it...*Word*

Thank you for sharing this article! I really like it! Because of
their relatively low level of writing. After seeing your article, I tried to
write some of this stuff, I published here, such as Coach Outlet, Coach Outlet Canada and Coach Bags Outlet. Those are
just a large blog, here there are some small blog site, also released a number
of articles. From http://www.usa-coach-bags.com/.
