Your Ning Site Looks The Way You Want<\/p><\/div>\n

Use Ning to create your own social site the way you want<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Ning, you’re free to make a community based around a certain interest. So if you want a network centered on books, that’s exactly what Ning allows you to do.<\/p>\n

The profiles that users will create will fall under the community they join in.<\/p>\n

Integration with other online services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Just like any other social network, sharing among platforms is one of the nice features of Ning. Content from Ning can be shared to Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Likewise, posts from these networks can be shared to Ning as well. Other than that, content from YouTube, Vimeo, Myspace and Soundcloud can be shared on Ning too.<\/p>\n

Ning Provides Full Social Media Integration<\/p><\/div>\n
Ning lets you integrate with the other social places<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Activity feed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This functions just like a Twitter feed or a Facebook timeline. It contains all the latest activity that your network has been up to. You can find what everybody is talking about, which member commented on what and others.<\/p>\n
What’s interesting about the Activity feed is that you can choose how many items you want to display and which area of your network where you will display it.<\/p>\n
If you’re the Network Creator, you can delete any activity you find to not be in line with your objectives. The activity feed is also the place where you can post custom messages such as facts or announcements.<\/p>\n
\n
Ning Blog<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Members who want to express their own opinion on a subject can use the Blog feature of Ning. You can also create separate blogs with one being the official blog of your community for updates and such while the other blog will be open for members to contribute to. <\/p>\n
\n
Ning Forum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Functions just any internet forum. It’s a place where conversations can be carried about topics in the specific niche that you\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n
\n
Ning Photos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Encourages members to upload photos to contribute to the community. As the administrator, you can control what gets through or not.<\/p>\n
\n
Ning Groups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Similar to Groups and Communities where users can create a group that caters to their specific interest. Maybe a group under a social network on books can be focused more on the classics while another will have a focus on mysteries and thrillers.<\/p>\n
As you can see, Ning allows you to create a dedicated community with a certain shared interest. Just keep in mind that the platform is no longer free, but if you’re willing to spare the expense for establishing a themed community, then Ning is waiting for you.<\/p>\n

Ning Requires Fees<\/p><\/div>\n
Ning is not free but is reasonably priced<\/strong><\/p>\n
The future of Ning<\/strong><\/p>\n
Alexa<\/a> shows a significant downward trend for Ning from the fall of 2013 until now. We are not sure about the cause of this drop but think that it could be a result of pressure from competitors who offer somewhat similar platforms but free of charge. Oxwall is one such animal and we have done custom builds on this platform for clients. It is more or less a Facebook clone and is open source and free.<\/p>\n
While Oxwall is free it requires much more technical knowledge and expense to setup and run as compared to Ning. It does offer many of the same features like live chat, streaming wall, likes, photos, videos, groups, forums, blogs and more but enough about Oxwall until we do an article on it\u2026<\/p>\n

Ning Traffic Shows In Decline<\/p><\/div>\n
Alexa shows Ning in steady decline since last fall<\/strong><\/p>\n
We are not exactly sure what the future will hold for Ning but we will be watching their traffic statistics to see what develops. Maybe a good marketing push can turn things around and then again maybe the decline will continue or possibly level off. We shall see. Either way, Ning does offer an attraction to a certain niche and for that reason we wanted to do this article and possibly make more people aware of this social media option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
