But people should note the key strategic change in focus that recently came about. It's purely on social networks not on the older apps like classifieds, and the associated developers that like to tweak (although you can get access to the new code base the architecture has changed and there's no docs for the new arch from what I can see - not sure if they'll be created since there's no dev focus anymore -Gina?). With the new direction, as long as you can stay within the confines of the configurable properties without coding you are laughing (and hopefully the amount of configuration will only increase). There's still a need for the other types of apps like classifieds and others that can benefit from being cloneable and tweakable - hopefully someone will pick up where Ning left off...</p> Ning is amazing.

It's the next step beyond the behemoth myspace, youtube, etc sites not to mention too many teenyboppers. ;o) It gets tough to keep that sense of community (I have no sense with these sites) and the searching becomes problematic (too many videos, etc). This wave of web innovation seems to be companies providing platforms, widgets and other tools to allow others to create, combine and innovate. I'm loving all the widgets, libraries and things that are enabling the creative process in all of us.</p> My sense of the future is that platforms like Ning are enabling niche social networks to be easily created.
