| | Man this blog has served me well over the years.. It's really helped me mature as a blogger, thinker, theologian, and culture watcher.. As I look back and some of my old entries, I remember those different stages in my life.
For the past 3 months I've been debating if I should kill my xanga or not.. Part of the reason I loved being a part of the xanga community was because most of my VOH family was on it.. More than anything, I love the community of reader/blogger relationships that have been built by this..
But with the growing Web 2.0, I'm beginning to realize that integration is extremely important and Xanga as a blogging site is not very flexible.. I belong to multiple communities on the web and they all integrate and play nice with each other, but xanga is like in its own little bubble (Sorta like the church.. JP!)..
As well, I realized that as a leader in my church I need to lead.. Not just in spiritual and moral matters but I believe in cultural matters as well. What I see happening with many in my church is that they are sticking to a Web 1.0 mentality and I believe the culture is moving to Web 2.0 mentality (I'll write about this later) and for the church to stay in an old paradigm will be damaging to its witness..
So I'm leaving this xanga community to enter into the world of Web 2.0 in hopes to meet people where they're at and begin build more communities of shared ideas.. This is sort of mirroring my real life right now that it's kinda scarey..
With that said.. Thank you xanga community.. Thank you for your comments.. you're e-props.. your love and support..
