Ning!

Recently I attended the wonderful conference of AISL (the Association of Independent School Librarians, hosted this year in Philadelphia by a team of fellow librarians. After the conference I started an AISL site on Ning, the new social networking site started by Marc Andreesen of Netscape fame and Gina Bianchini, who serves as Ning's CEO and stars in an excellent video which demonstrates how easy it is to set up a community on Ning. Here is Gina's blog, http://blog.ning.com/, and here's a link to the video.http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/technology/1373/build-your-own-social-space-with-ning-version-2# I haven't figured out yet how to post the video on this blog, but you can go to it. It's 12 minutes long and very good.
