You might have noticed a new little box appear on the frontpage today, called Boosted Content.  This little guy has been growing quite a cult following so, Vikas slapped it on the frontpage for the world to see! 

There’s so much awesome content on Xanga that the oft broken Featured Content just seemed to miss.  So we’ve been working towards this new system which does a pretty good job of finding great content.   

For those of you who may not be familiar with boost, the two summer interns who created Boost, Matt (half man, half wolverine) and Jeff (100% USDA approved Jeff), explain it:

It’s a new way to find and share content in a blogging community.  In part, it’s a stream of fresh content, always changing.  It’s also a bit of a competition, to keep things exciting. Most importantly, it’s powered by your opinion, so start boosting!

So basically, think of Boost like a viewer’s choice awards type of deal.  You nominate who gets on there, everyone votes, and the best are displayed!  And yes, boosting is a lot easier than you think.  It’s already on most pages right now – click into any post – you’ll see a “boost this entry!” link in the side module.

So what are you waiting for?!  Get your Boost on – and tell us what ya think!
