I have to admit if I did not know PHP, it would be difficult in its current state. I will be interested to see the new toolset and how easy it makes development. I am still working out some bugs with the app I created and Ning has been helping me out with some questions I had. The one outstanding I am encountering is that some visitors I have showed the app to cannot see the app and instead see a blank browser screen. I am hoping to get that figured out soon and then post the details on SomewhatFrank.com. I have been creating a Ning application to see just how it all works.

Imagine creating a web app and immediately having thousands of users who can login and use it! I believe this is the ultimate social app platform, since the strength of a social app comes from its broad user base. I believe this strength would then multiply as it is applied across numerous social services. Imagine: flickr x del.icio.us x digg. ... Sounds like a page from Yahoo's social media rap, eh?

I particularly like the idea that people will be able to drag and drop their own web applications without any kind of programming ability - a kind of Rapid Application Development approach, but itself done within a web environment. Dare I say it, how very Web 2.0.

Very glad to hear your opinions on our upcoming features, and we're honoured by your compliments on our previous responses. Your post was the loudest of several wake-up calls we've had recently, and we've taken it to heart - we're now going to be much more open about what's going on. Just to provide a little more information on what's coming: We'll shortly (within the next couple of weeks) be rolling out a major update with greatly-revised look and feel, as well as streamlined guidance and demos for developers who want to experiment with our platform. As you say, the drag-and-drop app building isn't quite ready for release yet, but we're working hard on it. In the meantime we're expanding and polishing up our example apps, which can be cloned and used with no developer knowledge at all - making them more customisable and better looking, and adding apps that are less frivolous, more widely useful. Thanks again for your comments, and we'll make sure to keep you informed! Thanks very much for this post, Mike!

To add your own ads to your app, just go to the homepage, find the app you want, click the "Make Premium" button, and check the 'Run your own ads', then "Buy Now". Enter your password, check the box, and the Ning-run ads go away, and you're free to add your ads anywhere you'd like them. I've been surprised that people haven't noticed the premium services features: they seem to me to alleviate a lot of the initial concerns people had about running apps on Ning, for very reasonable prices. Run your own ads, protect your source code, use your domain name... All these seem like they're pretty cool features, that not many people are taking advantage of.
