Understanding the importance of the integrity of a host platform is hardly paying lip-service to Ning’s tush. It incentivizes developers to write more defensive, performance-minded code, and that my friend … is software-engineering 101.

WL’s been very prolific, rolling-out insanely useful features in a very short amount of time, getting widespread adoption near-instantly from an eager flock of enterprising Network Creators. WL understood their needs and delivered on them … fast. While an impressive effort, this rapid pace would present serious reliability challenges to the most outstanding engineering teams in the field, even more so to a bootstrapped company of a couple of scripters. Dynamics become even more precarious when you start charging Network Creators for scripts you offer that run on a hosted platform such as Ning, and such scripts start to bring-down the host platform.

webChattr’s been my pet project, and while I’ve been approached with numerous suggestions as to which features i could and “absolutely should” add to it, as well as other social network components I “absolutely should” develop, i know my limitations … cold. And strive to deliver something reliable. It’s been a rocky road to say the least, but it’s getting there as evidenced by a look at webchattr.com’s traffic chart on quantcast.com . The business model behind wC is slightly different from WL’s of course, and it reaches far beyond Ning.

I too read the whole e-mail thread that Spence posted on his blog. He points out himself that Ning called his guy at 4am to fix a bug in WL’s code that was causing hundreds of Networks to crash … hard.

While WL clamors they were able to fix the issue within 2 minutes, the real issue here, is that Ning engineers were up until 4am at the Ning offices trying to find out why hundreds of Network Creators were complaining all day that their Network was down, until they finally tracked it down to a small, yet dramatically-impacting issue in WL’s code. In this process, Ning lost man-hours and money, as did many Network Creators. And it’s because of situations like these that basic Terms of Service reserve the right for a host company to do whatever it feels it needs to do, at its sole discretion.

Mike,

Any truth to the rumor that Jay Parikh will be named CEO and Gina moving to ‘Chairman’ status? Jay has pretty much everyone of consequence in the company reporting to him now. Marc has so many other new directorships and G seems a bit overwhelmed. Internally Jay seems to be making a powerplay.
