Are you Ning-ing yet?
Facebook? MySpace? So 2007. What do you get if you cross the simplicity, fun and easily extendable functionality of Facebook & the levels of design customisation possible on MySpace?
The era of personal digital brand management is upon us. I want more control of what I portray to whom and how.
So whilst you can already lock down your Facebook profile so your Mum can’t see the photographic evidence from that tequila party, and Flock helps you see all your social network updates in one space, having more creative control of your personal brand identity online was inevitably going to be next on the wish list. And that’s where Ning comes in. You don’t have to be a code-writing nerd to set up a fully functional and customised “brand me” webspace on Ning in just a few minutes. Get in touch with your inner creative side and try it!
Little wonder then, that as Techcrunch recently reported, Ning’s founder Mark Andreessen
has been invited to join Facebook's board of directors.

Ning is certainly a trailblazer in terms of niche communities, but there are other alternatives - some would say better. For instance the site my blog is on www.webjam.com is amazing for site AND community building, a lot more flexible than NING
