[Hidden-tech] Social networking platform provider?

[Tish Grier]

You might want to give Ning groups a try.  Ning's fairly easy to set up, and there are a lot of options for how you want to create your community: closed or open, different kinds of registration criteria, individual as well as group blogs, ability to post multi-media. I belong to several Ning groups run by professional organizations and while there's a similar look, all are very different.  And you do not need to stick with the ".ning.com" URL--you can have your own .com .org, etc URL too.

Now, whether or not people use the network is another matter entirely.....

   ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area.

My client is underwhelmed with iGroops and wants to change platforms.  
I've evaluated Ning, Groupsite, and Small World Labs. Anybody have  
experience with these, or another platform-based (not interested in  
server software) solution for membership-based professional communities?

Sincerely yours,
Lynn
