If you know you want to create a social network and you’d like it done today, as in now, actually, you could absolutely achieve that with Ning.

I’ve used other tools – CollectiveX, Dolphin, MODx, and played around with Joomla and Drupal, too. But they don’t come close to the ease, or as in software development speak – user-friendliness, that Ning has.

If you can set up a Facebook profile you can create a social network with Ning. I’ve configured them for clients who actively use it for business. There are hundreds and hundreds of them that are use for parenting, cancer survival, and everything else in between. It really is a fantastic tool.

If you’re like me, with a technical background, you won’t need to worry about pulling your hair out because you can’t configure it to your liking. It’s completely customizable. You can get access to the source code and hack away, if you like. And there are even Ning networks just for Ning developers to get advice and tutorials.

(Can you tell I love it?)

So if you’re looking for a social network tool that works, Ning is the one. And if you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask me!

It’s a website that sort of takes things like MySpace Groups & Facebook Groups and pimps it out majorly. It’s called Ning.com and the premise is built around the notion of creating “your own” social network.

You’re really creating your own “group” but I’ll play along with calling it a “social network” because I suppose it can be classified that way as well.

Either way, I took the bait. I created my own. Self Employed Mamas Rock. That’s my new social network. I’m looking for members so if you’re a rockin self employed mama, you need to be there! :)

But really, is there such a thing as social network addiction? Can you really have too many social networks? Here’s my list so far. I think it’s getting ridiculous. How about you?

I don’t want to be a victim of social network addiction! Then I’ll need to start an entirely new group called Social Network Addicts Anonymous…
