Create your own social network with Ning.com
I have been doing some research into the various social networks and their uses, audiences and so forth lately and came across the rather great http://www.ning.com. Ning allows you to set up your own social network with most of the usual tools you would find on things like Facebook and MySpace.
The templates aren’t exactly pretty but you can customise the designs and utilise your own domain name. So users coming to your social network will think you’ve done a fine job of setting something up for them and won’t know it’s running from the ning platform.
It could be used for all sorts of things of course. For instance, we were thinking of using it as a social ‘intranet’ for the agency I’ve just been working with. Might get people off of Facebook for five minutes!
Or maybe I should set up ‘BruceSpace’ for all the Bruce’s out there. Might not make my millions on that one….
