Ning is not a social network. I believe there is value in being able to create your own social network. I mean ning is in use from several 'not-so-large-but-big' brands such as Singer Natasha Bedingfield [http://www.natashabedingfieldusa.com/ http://www.natashabedingfieldusa.com/], Rawkus records [http://my.rawkus.com/ http://my.rawkus.com/] and even Good Charlotte [http://goodcharlotte.com/ http://goodcharlotte.com/] I personally use Ning to spawn my own social networks, and since it is fairly easy to use it's rss feeds as a form of Content Management I see it's value. Also, I recall seeing Gina Bianchini on the cover of Fast Company Magazine [http://www.beashowhosttips.com/ginafc.jpg http://www.beashowhosttips.com/ginafc.jpg], not Marc.
