I’ve been very pleased with my small but growing Ning site. We previously had another site created in Drupal and it was a nightmare. Sure, Ning’s not perfect and I’m always struggling with how much I need to integrate with Facebook, but it’s just fine for now and I’m looking forward to the new apps.

One of the comments was about integration with Facebook, and I have n had no problems linking the majority of content within my Ning platform based sites to whatever Facebook profile the page visitor has... There is a lot you can do with Ning, but first you have to understand that Ning itself is not a social network or site, it is actually the platform and tools for administrators to use in creating a social or professional network and the web site framework around that network.
