Christian-themed alternative to MySpace

America's culture wars hit social networking.  Or the market offers another YASN niche.  Or multiculturalism in YASN iterates again: there's a Christian-themed alternative to MySpace.  Xianz ("It's not MySpace - it's HIS space!") positions itself as a safe space, clearly playing off of the growing cultural meme of fearsome MySpace. 

Invitation-only, like Orkut at launch.

The FAQ is interesting, combining tech questions with religious content:
   1.  What does the word Xianz mean?
   2. How do you pronounce Xianz?
   3. How do I get a background picture on my ...
   4. How do I add music to my profile?
   5. Where is the washroom at Xianz?
   6. I thought the X was getting rid of Christ's ...
   7. How do I invite my friends to this site? ...
   8. Why can't I login to my Xianz account?
   9. What is the Gospel?
  10. How do I delete my account?
