Ning: Failures, Lessons and Six Alternatives

And in other news, Ning, the so-called "network of social networks" decided to manage itself out of business today by telling it's clients "f-you, pay me!" Not a very intelligent move on the part of a web 2.0 model business. The name of the game, guys, is ad revenues. And you get ad revenues by getting large volumes of traffic. Ning apparently doesn't have large volumes of traffic, so they rely on the customer to pay for everything. Personally I was never all tht impressed with Ning anyway, so it'll just end up on the social network pile like Friendster and AOL. Just in case you want to visit, I'm setting up the ITIL Sage Network over on socialgo.com, you should come check it out! http://itil.socialgo.com
