It is also a great way to do market research, you have an assembled group of your prospective customers gathered in one spot discussing industry relevant information. It can truly be a business blessing if done properly.

I definitely recommend Ning because it is user-friendly and the tech support is usually prompt and helpful. KickApps on the other hand is horrible. The platform is missing many important social network features such as privacy controls. Moderation on KickApps is time consuming, tech support is useless and the site is often down. I've also had members complain about random glitches like not being able to delete specific comments or not being able to get certain profile settings to stick. I'm being asked to set up a OneSite network soon. I've got my fingers crossed in hopes that it works as well as Ning. I'll give an update in the future. I’ve used Ning and KickApps.
