Nings are a lot like Facebook and My Space with a little more protection from what I gather. A Ning is a social networking of people with commonalities all over the world. Say for instance the librarians in my district and myself wanted to start a network because we couldn't meet as often as we want to a Ning would be a perfect place for us to network so that we were all connected. A Ning is great for getting and sharing ideas. Overall it helps people stay connected, in touch, and networked through common grounds and unlike Facebook or My Space it is narrowed down for a specific purpose.
