The Death of MySpace
If their smart, the good people at Myspace should start to worry. Recently, Mark Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape, has attached him name to an innovative project aimed at making the social- networking sites easier to create. Ning, the company funding and executing the initial prototype, promised to launch a set of tools that will enable even the most tech-illiterate person to customize his/her very on site complete with videos, photos and music. Anyone using this free service will have to settle for ads posted by Ning. For the right to post an ad, a user must pay 19.95 a month. A domain name will cost 4.95. For sites generating high traffic, Ning also sells bandwidth and storage; 5GB of storage and 100GB for 9.95 per month. This makes for an interesting hypothetical. If creating social –networking forums become commonplace, will the high number of niche sites over saturate the market? Will sites like MySpace go the way of the buffalo once more people start developing their own communities that meet their own specific needs? Only the future will tell.

I love the look of Ning, all the flexibility they provide, and the really detailed information that they give to you when try to find out what they are all about. Their FAQ’s page is stuffed full of helpful knowledge.
Ning has defiantly raised the bar in terms of how unique some of their tools are and their free enhancements don’t hurt either. They may have also struck gold with the idea of creating Ning For Business where they offer the ability for companies to add their own logo, branding, and visual design and to choose the features they want. It will be interesting to see if this new social networking site takes off. |
