I would hate to spend a large amount of time getting a group going on one of these sites only to have to pull it later because of the issues group leaders face. Anyone have any recommendations which to use to grow a small community of business associates? Thanks! Can anyone tell me the differences with the “Groups” feature on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Ning?

Myspace is a free-for-all with their founding as social circles for groupies to touch their favorite musicians. Unfortunately, this has expanded to include hookers and other undesirable audiences. Facebook started with the top universities. Although, they have lost universities like Stanford, users prefer them over the new Affinity Circle. Facebook has grown to attract high school students and boomers. International growth makes them number one. The networking feature is primarily wall posts (quick comments) on news feed items like photos, videos, or status reports (i.e. what am I doing now) Today, Facebook released Live Feed, a tab from the home page that shows real changes without clicking. Cool. LinkedIn has cleaned up their cluttered interface and added the discussion boards for groups. They recently opened groups for any user; and now adds the discussion board as a group feature. Structurally, it is similar to the question, answer feature. It is integrated into the newsfeed like feature on the home page. On it's first day, the discussions have been immediately popular.

While I live in the bay area and work in the Internet (not a fair comparison for the rest of the world) LinkedIn is a great resource for finding contacts, employees, etc. Virtually every business person I come into contact with gets a quick look-up from me on LinkedIn. I like to see that they are trying to expand into group functionality. It should be simple and easy-to-use. Other bells and whistles just aren't that necessary.
