Start Your Own Social Network with Ning… Free

Saturday, August 11th, 2007 | by Rajan Sodhi | 3 Comments |

Came across a very cool service online called Ning after reading a post on Isabel Wang’s blog. Ning allows you to create your own social network around any topic you wish, free. For a while, I’ve been talking to my team about putting together a site where we could bring together PEER 1 clients, staff and friends to discuss and share knowledge around technology and doing business online. We’ve been planning to create this from scratch. I’m now experimenting with Ning to create this PEER 1 Community site. So far, I’m really impressed with the ease of use and look-and-feel. Check it out and start your own. And if you have a passion for business and technology, come join ours. We would love to have you.

This is great. I am interested in e-commerce and am blogging about my experiences of going from $0 to 100,000 in 1 year.

Thanks,
