Ning - Create your own social network!

What should users, unhappy with existing online networking sites, do? The answer is simple: go ahead and create your own online social network!

Ning, an exciting innovation in the online networking space, was founded in October 2004 for users to create "your own social network for anything -- in less than two minutes, for free -- with the ability to customize your network any way you want."

See a video on "What is this Ning thing all about?"

To understand the Ning philosophy, read a blog post by Marc Andreessen (who earlier co-founded Netscape Communications) where he shares how his social network service, Ning, crossed 100,000 networks.

So, go ahead and create your own social network and/or join an existing one like:

The Freedom Movement
Fibromyalgia - You're Not Alone!
Peace and Collaborative Development Network

For more, checkout the featured networks at the Ning Blog.
