The "Faith Based MySpace"

Robbie Davidson's "Faith Based MySpace" at http://www.xianz.com/
Katie Zezima, a journalist, has written about a new website, http://www.xianz.com/, which describes itself as a "Faith Based MySpace." The site does not welcome content that is deemed inappropriate, such as explicit sexual content, posts filled with obscenities, or derogatory language in general. Though Xianz does not have nearly as many members as MySpace, it manages to maintain a fairly closed group who are simply not interested in interacting with folks whose ideals or lives are antithetically different than their own. A young member of Xianz, Caitlin, age 16, says " I use Xianz because it is a place that I can come to and have fellowship with friends ... [and enjoy ] helping others." It seems Mr. Davidson has followed the age old maxim for success, "it's quality, not quantity" and we congratulate him for his vision to create a web site with high ethical standards.
