Well, I read lots of others posts on Ning and I still couldn’t figure out if I should care. So, I decided to try it myself. I like the social notion of being able to create your own tailored community, but stuffing it off in another garden didn’t seem too interesting to me (as opposed to so many other choices). I created a Ning destination for community group therapy…I’m not sure why, or if you should care, or if I even care…but I think trying things out is important and if you weren’t curious, you wouldn’t be here at all. More on this notion of curiosity in a few days…
I also joined (albeit relatively randomly) two Ning communities regarding Web 2.0 (http://web2pointo.ning.com/ and http://webware.ning.com/). They didn’t seem all that active and I didn’t see yet what I’d get there that I don’t already get from the network I’m connected to, but I’ve come to accept that at 37, I’m often too old to “get it” on some of these social networking sites right off. So, toes in..perhaps you’ll join me in the experiment. Or point out to me what I’m missing:)
