Quite frankly, I just don't get this thing. Why do you need to create your own social network when you are basically doing the same thing on Facebook? I can see perhaps the value of setting up an invitation only ning account for a school or business group, but again, why use ning and not some other tool?
My interests are pretty mundane, and the sites I visited reflected that. The titles for the groups were sometimes the most interesting part of the webpages, as I found page after page of forums unattended, blogs posted with no replies, and groups yet to be formed. One library page had scores of tulip photos. They were lovely, to be sure, but what did they have to do with "reader's advisory"??
Time to move on to the next Thing!
