Ning

I really enjoyed this project. Before the project I had never even heard of Ning, and most likely would have not tried it if it wasn't for this project and I am glad that I got the Opportunity to do so. Before I became acclimated to Ning, i was really not a fan. The layout was new to me and I was having trouble figuring out the working and purpose of Ning. After the class figured out some of the problems and I became more used to using the site it became very fun to work with.

I enjoyed that fact that we were able to incorporate a cause into this project. It seems that Ning is a viable platform to educate people on various causes. Whether or not i will use Ning in the future, i have not yet decided. I think that Ning is one of the better designed social networking sites and it is unfortunate that it is not as popular as facebook or myspace. Overall i think that utilizing Ning for this project was a good idea. With new websites and social networking sites being developed every day I think it is interesting to experience all of them.

I think that our groups Ning page was very successful and well constructed, we utilized various affordances such as video and photos. I specifically enjoyed the discussions page where we were free to start our own discussions and have our group members respond to them. Overall I enjoyed this project and can say it was one of my favorite. Hopefully i will use ning in the future and maybe introduce it to my friends and family.
