Social Ning

Bridget Carey over at The Miami Herald thinks we should all Consider Ning to broaden social networking strategy.

Your business Facebooks. It Tweets. But does it Ning? There are about 300,000 active groups on Ning — many of them brands and interest groups — and about 40 million users actively participating in them. If your business has a social media strategy (and there had better be a strategy) you might want to consider setting up a Ning network.

It’s where you can take any topic and make a social network community for it in less than 10 minutes. I spoke to Ning’s chief operating officer, Jason Rosenthal, who says that every month, there’s a 14 percent increase of active Ning networks. There are about 2.1 million networks, not all active. That’s about 40,000 new and active networks created a month.

I’d have to agree with her, Ning is a great platform to create very focused communities.
