Xanga is a quite gd website to use....but it is just mainly for diary. Bebo is another website that u can use as a online diary, but u can also upload photos, video, etc. Bebo is mainly common in Europe(i am a chinese, but study in UK)....people communicate wif bebo...it is more like a blog...people just left commons there. Alternatively, facebook is a gd website as well....it is nearly the same as Bebo, but it is less common in Europe, quite popular in HK, my fds use it very often...
