[...] May 17, 2008 · No Comments I started following blog.pmarca.com a few months back after it kept getting referenced by venturehacks. I knew of Marc Andreessen–he designed mosaic, the first mass web browser, which sort of turned into netscape when he cofounded that company in his early 20s. Since then, he sold netscape to aol, started opsware in 99 and sold it to hp in 2007 for $1.6B, and most recently cofounded ning, which it so happens is also doing quite well. [...]

@40 “Ning charges $4.95/month for domain masking. Now, this fee is insulting considering that domain masking can be set up in under 5 minutes.”

Seems pretty cheap to me. It has taken nearly two years for Ning to gain a .5 billion valuation. If you apply some very fuzzy math, that means the 5 minutes of work it would take to setup said domain masking on their system should cost roughly $2400. Just a thought.

What’s insane is anyone here who uses farce/freakbook. Next, let’s get this straight… zucker pulled the $15b figure out of his ass one day. That’s it! Seriously. Go check. If anyone says that it HAS been valued at $15b, then let them go play in traffic.

Frank,
When will you get vested?

Sipkid,

I was trying to create a social network and looked at some other companies like kickapps and snappville, but I noticed that ning is a lot faster and user friendly. While nings site is rather simple and not unique, I’m sure they will develop it more. Ning is definitely trying to compete against Facebook and myspace for users. But the unique feature is the closed groups, somewhat similar to yahoo groups, and this is appealing to advertisers. Ning can create their own advertising network and distribute ads according to site keywords. Facebook is currently broken down by college – and mostly poor college students. But Ning can target the spending interests of its users. Also, Ning users can sign-up for all networks instead of an isolated niche network, this is cloud thinking and creates a complete online identity for one user that engages time commitment and appeals to advertisers and other polling companies.
