Ning Nong!
October 5th, 2005 -- Posted in 11010011 | 1 Comment »Marc Andreeson, one of the guys who first created Netscape, just came out with his latest project dubbed Ning. In short it is:
Ning is a free online service (or, as we like to call it, a Playground) for building and using social applications.
It is basically a service which includes a software for easily creating social networking websites such as hotornot, flickr, craigslist, and match.com. The cool thing about it (and also the reason why I call it a service) is that they’ve made it really easy to create these websites. One example is that you can clone an existing template and it copies all the code for you.
The great thing about this is that now you can create your own social networking website based on whatever you want. It can be about anything from east bay restaurants to local sports buddies.
