Ning looks fun

I played around with Ning a while back and could not get my head around why I would want my own social network. I guess a lot has changed in the past year. Many starting networks have really taken off. Which is good, but also a problem. It's a little harder to stay in touch with just a few people in a specific area. I think that's where Ning can really fit in.

A small group can stay in touch or share info on a related topic or area. For example I just started up this group:

Moodle Alberta

Why would I do that when there are lots of Moodle groups around the world? Mostly so I can stay in touch with this smaller sub group. I live here in Alberta and I want to make sure I don't miss what's going on here while I'm reading tweets or posts from all around the world. Try it out.
