  • Journey back to the early 2000s, a time when dial-up was king and social media was still in its infancy. In this episode, we delve into the fascinating story of Xanga, a platform that was years ahead of its time.

    Discover how Xanga paved the way for the features we now take for granted, from customizable profiles and photo sharing to video blogs and microblogging - all before the likes of Facebook and Twitter even existed! We'll explore Xanga's rise to prominence, its unique features, and its eventual decline in the face of new competitors.

    Join us as we unpack the lessons learned from Xanga's journey, reflecting on the ever-changing nature of the digital landscape and the importance of innovation and adaptability. It's a story that reminds us that even the most groundbreaking platforms can fade away, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape the internet we know today.
