I looked at Ning some time ago for players of the small RPG I made. The service seemed redundant with the site, storefront, email accounts, and forum I already have, which are very cheap. I think Ning is enterprise software of a social sort. As a result, they might fall into a narrow slice of the market: not too small, but not too big. EDIT: The title should read ...are things starting to look up at Ning?
