What is Ning?
Launched in October of 2005, Ning is a social network designed around creating social networks. Ning invites users to create their own social network by going through a series of steps that name the social network, select a color scheme, and allow for unique profile questions.
In some ways, Ning is a portal to mini-social networks since you can choose to join any of the thousands of user-created networks, and in other ways, it is a social network development platform.
Why Should I Use Ning?
Ning has many uses such as creating a fan site for your favorite artist, a social network for your family to enjoy, a place to organize a class reunion, and much more. The open-ended nature of Ning makes the possibilities limited only by your own imagination.
