The fact they only need one acount for al of the benefits of the most popular web 2.0 applications plus the building blocks to create, yeah it’s a good formula. As a comment to only attracting small groups, first many people fail on the first try, the more you try the bigger your chances are, letting your users do this work for you, is the way to go. Second ever heard of the snowball effect? This is what happened in with websites, blogs, podcasting, mashups, i think this is the next step in the evolution of web 2.0 apps. Leveraging the users creativity, by creating the platform is the way to build a big userbase.

Like many other dumb startup ideas, this one is offering something the idea behind which cannot be easily explained. I’ve read two descriptions already and still don’t understand what is actually being offered.

Maybe I’m dumb, don’t know, but as I see it all successful products and services (search, email, browser, IM, skype, rss, php etc.) can be explained to a layperson in one sentence. I think in one years time we will not hear a word about Ning anywhere.

I wish the Tech Crunch staff was more critical about the new companies that it profiles and at least tried to apply a simple test of “one line UNDERSTANDABLE explanations” to the ideas/products/services of these companies.
