Very nice share, thanks a lot. Before, individuals had to add applications on their own — there was no simple way to syndicate them across a Ning network.

My experience with Ning was that they were very proprietary about their software and did not really encourage people building on apps that would help Ning users monetize their sites. There was a really decent 3rd party developer who had developed a number of really cool apps for the ning platform and then was banned when he became too important to Ning users.

Ning is a great way to get a basic social network running around a particular interest, but it really should be supporting stuff like OpenID and/or Facebook Connect to make it easier for the people you invite to come and join your network.

The reason we didn't build a Ning network when we started WeCanDo.BIZ (and built ours from scratch instead) is that every other network manager -- all 1 million of them -- is just a couple of clicks from being able to offer exactly what you offer, functionally. Unless you are covering a popular but niche interest REALLY well, it's hard to stand out.

It can make it hard for your network to take off.

Ning is pretty much the worst social networking site in the world.

Create your own type apps have a long way to go still, and this looks pretty good.
