I found another cool Social Networking site this week. It’s very cool and free and is called Ning. What’s so cool is that you can create your own social network on their site. For Free! Whatever topic or interest, you can answer some basic questions and have your own social network up and running in minutes.

Participants get their own profiles (both for the site and individually for each group they’re in), you can send messages, participate in forum discussions, upload photos and videos, and much more. It’s a great way for people to connect with each other about a topic of mutual interest, which is what social networking is all about.

One of the best parts is that RSS feeds permeate the site, both for displaying them on your network’s main page and also for subscribing to them to follow discussions, etc. RSS feeds are a MUST-HAVE for any Web 2.0 application.

I’ve already set up two networks myself: Handbell Village and Twenty-First Century Catholicism. And there are already people signing up as members! How cool!
