Xanga has ratings?
Mysteries of adolescence infuse social internet sites:
The only thing I really wanted to talk about from this article is this…
Social networking sites are also struggling to come to terms with controlling content that might offend. Google last week shut down some Orkut communities that the Brazilian government said had advocated violence and human rights violations. Meanwhile, Xanga introduced a rating system for member’s sites similar to that adopted by the movie industry.
Now I went to my Xanga site and I did not see a rating anywhere. I went into my control panel at Xanga and didn’t see an option for it either.
Has anyone seen this or no how to go about getting it?

Perhaps they are talking about the “flag” option on the top right of the sites. From what I understand, it is sort of like Bloggers flag button… except that it is rumored to work better.

If they are talking about the flag that’s not a very accurate description.

I think I found what they where talking about… I had to go to my page to find it. When you are at your personal page (with the edit options) it’ll have something like your name:reviews- events. upper left. When you click reviews, it’ll give you a page that allows you to add links, and rate them.
Try typing this in (I think it should take you directly to the page) http://www.xanga.com/private/contentlatest.asp?tab=reviews&user=
