Yet Another Unstoppable Youth Social Network

Given our coverage of MyYearBook.com, Facebook and BingBox, an a:c reader writes in to let us know about XuQa and its high school sister site HuQa. To date, the site had not received any funding, and it shows, as a quick tour reveals numerous technical problems. We doubt the founders will find VCs interested, given their announcement after they recently raised donations from users:

"With this dough, here's the game plan: Go party REEALLLY hard for like one weekend. Wake up with a hang over sooo heavy that we can't see the Error 808 on XuQa. Put our faces in the toilet and throw everything we've got in there. Go to work totally shit-faced and try to figure out why the hell there's an Error 808 on XuQa after 8 full hours of not being able to get XuQa back up, go back and do it all over again. HAHA. Let's have a champaign guys, XuQa gets a chance to throw one last punch at the facebook! Yay!"
