My 2 cents . . . I've started a Ning site because of a great experience I am having on Seth Godin's Triiibes site. I think it's a little too "heavy" to be all that useful as a "warm-up" space . . . Seems to be more suitable for longer term community building. My experience is that less than 10% of the members are participating at any given time. Seth Godin's site has @ 3700 folks . . . and somewhere around 200 participate regularly So . . . Until it "scales" it's not useful for folks who are overwhelmed by the complexity it offers. My site is at www.realestatetowncenter.ning.com and is a "closed, safe space for REALTORS to explore issues and opportunities facing them in today's complex market" 3 weeks in and membership is @ 25 and growing daily . . . I really am not expecting significant chatter there until it hits at least 100 members Hope this helps, b On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 7:13 AM, John Engle <j...@johnengle.net> wrote: > Thank you Danilo for your quick response. > > I've set up Ning for two different networks I'm involved with.
