Okay last night I spent about an hour or more on NING trying to figure it all out (I've been wanting to do this for ages!). I found a few very cool features. For instance when you're part of a NING group you have your own page (I did know this already, haha) but you can get your existing personal blog (eg. blogspot) to feed into your NING page! You can also move features around, change colours and personal your page to how you like it. You can even add different applications! Very cool.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because if you're interested there are two very cool Canadian groups on NING you might like to join. Just another couple of ways to social network. Oh that evil social networking that sucks up our time but is so important!
