Xanga.com ripe for the picking?

According to Marketwatch, little known Xanga is the third most popular blog site, only behind Google's Blogger with 8M accounts and LiveJournal's 6.6M accounts.

Xanga currently ranks as #14 top site on the internet according to Alexa.com, while Myspace (funded recently by Redpoint VP, and trades on the AMEX) ranks #18, Friendster (KP and Battery backed) #37.

Who will acquire Xanga? Yahoo (360 beta), Google, Microsoft already all have their own blog communities. And, LiveJournal was recently picked up by Six Apart.

Perhaps an Interactive Corp or AskJeeves (given their recent interest and acquisition in Bloglines) will find them accretive?

Or, Xanga may not even be up for sale, like Craigslist
