    Yes it's true, but these smart guys allow people create their own social network space with versatility and it's great.

    Ning has good network effect by this point. I see a lot popping up, some may do a better job but Ning has the community. Also, the customization is still quite unique.

    Users will soon get tired of all of the different social networks they get invited to
