My boss Brian Fuller made me aware of the new meta-social-networking site, Ning.com, which Marc Andreessen of Netscape started, since Brian did a piece on it in his Greeleys Ghost blog. I gave Ning a test drive and set up a vertical social network on experimental noise music, NoiseAnnoys.
On Saturday morning, the NY Times did an article on Ning, next-gen social networks, and Cisco Systems' desire to buy another site, tribe.net. The writer suggested such sites would be as common as Web pages soon. Isn't there a problem with user fatigue here? Social networking sites require a good deal of audience participation, and I think folks already are burned out on YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, etc. We don't need these sites proliferating like bunny rabbits!
