		<description>Nings last remaining 3rd party developer has released a system that allows Ning networks to run Joomla modules.

This is serious. Its the best real news to come out of Ning in a long time. I&#039;m running it on my own network and it has opened my cheesy ning network up to the usage of over 4,600 Joomla features.

Now my shit is solid.

		<description>now, now, fellas its either this or twitter.  ning is an awesome platform  that will be around for as long as social networks exist.  unbelievable all the nonsense hate.  all the haters obviously dont have social network or could even begin to know what it takes to make one and have people sign up and actually use the service.  i have 850 members on my ning platform and it grows everyday on autopilot.   the bottomline is social users want location, location, location to broadcast themselves.  whom ever creates the greatest network of location, location, location, niche social channels will win the social network wars.  some people build and some people blab.

		<description>i guess ning can rebrand as the &quot;b list&quot; network. 

i heard some guy who starred in 3 commercials in the 80&#039;s set up a network on ning, too!

you have to admit - that is some pretty weak star power they are flaunting...</description>

		<description>It&#039;s embarrassing that TechCrunch would cover this. Eddie Izzard? Is he a C-List or D-List &quot;celebrity&quot;? Let&#039;s not forget that Ning has raised over $100m at an absurd valuation. The bar for this company should be much, much higher.</description>
