Up Coming guest Gina Bianchini is an episode that
you certainly do not want to miss. In this next
generation of the Internet, building relationships
and communities are essential to your survival in
business on the Internet.
I
have reviewed almost all of the social networks
available online, I can whole-heartedly recommend
Ning as a must in developing communities a place
for your viewers and listeners of your shows to
connect.
Gina
Bianchini and Marc Andreessen founded Ning in October
2004 to give everyone the opportunity to create
social networks. Two and a half years later, Ning
powers over 90,000 social networks and counting.
From
eBay sellers in Upstate New York to bead store owners
in Maine, aspiring hip hop artists in New Jersey,
pop culture junkies in New York City, college professors
in Germany, young deviant artists in North Carolina,
and even a few big media companies in LA, with Ning
anyone can create the perfect social network for
them.
What
makes this all possible is the Ning Platform. As
a platform, you don't have to appeal to Ning for
the features you want. If you have the time and
the inclination, you can build them yourself. It's
the software equivalent of Home Depot. Platforms
give everyone the freedom to create.
