XANGA METROS
Today we're introducing a whole new feature: Xanga Metros.
For a long time, our users have been asking us, "How can I find Xangans in my local area?" Originally, we experimented with using zip code to power local search... but that just freaked us out. Who wants to risk having your zip code floating around out there?! So we created Xanga Metros - a large metro area that you can join, like Los Angeles, Montreal, or Singapore. For example, I just joined the New York City metro. If you check it out, you can see some of our New York Xangans...
Monsur, Marc, and I inputted hundreds of metros into the system, from Dhaka, Bangladesh (where Monsur was born) to Hanover, NH (where Marc and I met in college). But of course, we missed some metros as well... which is why every Country and State has a "Suggest a Metro" feature at the bottom. So please help us out, and if you don't see your metro in there... suggest it, and we'll add it to our system!
You can check out Xanga Metros here:
