Has Anyone NING'ed Lately?

Brian Langley, a good friend and colleague at the office, recently introduced me to ning.com, a website where you can create your own social network sites.  These sites are similar to facebook, and allow you to create groups for any reason.

In five minutes, he and I created a group for our office, just to see how easy it was.  Then, my mind started exploring the possibilities for using ning.  My first thought was to create a website for any farm that an agent has.  It would be a great way to keep in touch with your farm, and it would be a great way to gather prospects' email addresses.

If you have used ning, what ideas have you come up with?  Have you enjoyed any successes with it yet?  I look forward to using this new tool, and I will have to report what sort of things I end up doing with it.

Interesting.  I created a network in about 5 minutes.  http://readvantage.ning.com.  Take a look.

Bill, I liked the idea about using it for your farm. I'm going to check it out. Keep us posted-does sound like the possibilities are endless. In the meantime I'll see you on FB. Have a great Thanksgiving!

I will check it out!  Seems like it would be fun for clubs and fund raising.

I had never heard of ning before.  It sounds intriguing.  I'll check back to see what comments are made here.  Thanks for turning me onto it.

Perhaps MaroonDoor could help. New site. Build your online presence and put yourself infront of homeowners. Its all about putting yourself infront of real people.

I have several ning networks. I have one for my market area at http://poincianapeeps.ning.com

One for my Church that is private.  Also a private one for my family.

And one more for my business at http://ttrealtynet.com

I LOVE ning.com. Very easy to use and free!!!

Hi Bill... This is a site I have never heard about.  I will definitely check it out because your post has the idea lightbulb over my head all lit up!  Thanks for sharing!

Ning seems like a neat site, but I'm having trouble just keeping up with all the others that I'm using: twitter, facebook, activerain, propertyqube and, oh yeah, selling real estate too! LOL.  I think I'll get Ning implemented after I can get my A/R, twiiter, and facebook habits down pat.
