When Ning comes back up (we're down for the big changeover right now) take a look at http://reviewit.ning.com/ - it was that app which I cloned to create http://zerobars.ning.com/ . It took me less than five minutes and I didn't have to write a line of code. The app-building happens in the setup process after you clone it. You can't use it to create something wildly different to its basic framework without extra programming, but if you want you create a collaborative Google Maps mashup with your own custom data, it's way ahead of everything else out there right now. And that's just one of our apps.</p> <p>You can do a ton of stuff on Ning without touching PHP. There's a lot of whizziness that we're working on for future releases, some of which Michael alluded to.

And if it’s still with php – well then all of Micahel Arrington’s criticisms still stand.

Having pretty wrapper pages does not solve the UI creation connondrum. It’s quite a challenge to come up with an end-user paradigm and tool that can do all of what Ning claims – without being a coder.

Amanhã cedo estréia nova versão do Ning, com uma cara nova, novas ferramentas e apps p/ clonagem, pelos screenshots parece que vai ser interessante.
