There are many Internet start-up companies, such as Ning.com, attending this years Web 2.0 conference. What does Ning.com offer?
Response from Gina Bianchini, CEO of Ning.com and Marc Andreessen, co-founder Netscape: What’s different about Ning from other (social networking) services is that we give you your own video site like YouTube, or social-networking site like MySpace. But unlike being a page in somebody else’s service, it’s yours. You get to choose what it’s about. Our basic theory is that as people get more sophisticated and used to social networks, they are going to want a lot more flexibility and a lot more customization. We’re making a big bet that there will be a lot more social networks over the next couple of years.
