Yes, places like MySpace and YouTube are great for the big dogs to create and manage and for people who want to get lost in the masses, but what about something we can do with a local angle and flavor?
Well, there may be solution. From CNET:
Ning allows people to create socially oriented Web sites without having to write code. People are presented with choices, such as who to share the site with and what kind of look it will have.
Ning has built templates for hosting discussions and sharing music, photos and videos. The site is set up so people can retain their own branding--a logo can appear in a video player, for example.
"What's different about Ning from other services is that we give you your own video site like YouTube, or social-networking site like MySpace," she said. "But unlike being a page in somebody else's service, it's yours. You get to choose what it's about."
I haven't tried it yet, but Marketing Pilgrim gives it the thumb's up. Let us know what you use it for and send in a review.
