A Fool's Initiation

I come in peace.

After two and a half years of blogging on Xanga, I have finally got annoyed enough with them to create another blog. Originally, when I started with Xanga, it was a company with high ideals. But as time passed, so did the quality of its service.

What really got to me were the annoying ads that were on every site and also the plugs. Plugs are small little squares that advertised other peoples' xanga blogs. In itself, not necessarily a bad idea, but soon there was zillions of ads, with incredibly annoying pictures, and even more innane taglines. Soon people were advertising themselves because they could, not bothering to consider wether they should.

Blogger is a unique service in that it doesn't pay for itself using ads. Personally, I find that a very positive point in Blogger's favor, and thus, my blog.

Alea Iacta Est!
