Ning - Create your own social network

I read about Ning from the EduCause Learning Initiative (www.educause.edu/eli) and decided to try it out. Ning allows you to set up your own social network. You have probably heard about FaceBook and MySpace... Ning is the same concept but provides more flexibility for creating a network that is specific to your purpose. Think about creating a social network for your course... you could facilitate discussion, support collaboration, and provide students with a "place" to meet and work.
