We had been expecting it for a while, and code name “24 hour laundry” is now out. Sorry if you’ve seen this elsewhere, I’m about 10 days behind in my RSS feeds! From the “about us” page:
“About Ning : Ning is a free online service (or, as we like to call it, a Playground) for building social applications. Social apps enable anyone to match, transact, and communicate with other people. With Ning, you can build and use social apps for just about anything. Since we are a new service, we thought we'd tell you more about who is behind Ning and why we're doing it.
Who We Are My name is Gina Bianchini and I am the CEO. I co-founded Ning with Marc Andreessen. In addition to Marc and myself, we have about 14 full-time people and a number of other really great contributors who have done a lot to get this thing up and running.”
The FAQ page is full of details and there is also a blog. Really interesting stuff. In a nutshell, is an evnironment to create web 2.0 apps. Check the pivot as well.
