Ugh. Ning. It feels less anonymous to me, for some reason. Plus, it looks too busy. So I have always avoided it. I can appreciate it, but this was the first time in the Web 2.0 explorations that I felt like “oh, maaaan! one more thing I have to log into and check”. The feeling will pass.
One good thing though. I forced myself to create a group. I pushed myself outside my comfort zone, just a little bit more. And, after actually creating an account and exploring a little bit, I can appreciate it’s capacity for letting people create a social network for a particular interest. And it helps me navigate the Nerdfighters group a little bit more.
