farewell my little ning:
Here's the best 3 webpages of lists of the best alternatives to NING, there's some overlap:
9 Free alternatives with Welcoming messages from each. The WEBS.com seems to be a good choice - I've had a webs.com for several years and it's the most friendly thing I've used in a long time - also can access and view anywhere, including public/library computers that block "social networking sites."
Their Welcome message here: but as they say "Unfortunately ... you will need to rebuild the basic features of your site. However the benefit of going with Webs is that once you export your network members to a CSV file you can easily send them an automated invitation to the new Webs site using our Email Blast tool."
And SPRUZ.com
does have a
NING Migration tool, it sez, and does have high ratings.
Second Welcome for ex-Ningers
OK - I just looked and here's a nice
example of an artists group using Spruz.com. Videos aren't allowed in the
free version.
