Launch your own social network

Ning provides a free platform you can use to launch your own social network.

So after all this talk about social networks, what if you’re interested in starting your own? Ning is the place to go. There are already more than 1.5 million social networks on the site on a wide variety of topics.

The site can be useful for both internal and external collaboration. People have launched social networks to aggregate information during hurricanes and other crises but organizations also have pages on the site to facilitate communication within their groups. There are also many information-packed social networks on Ning that cover topics relevant to communications professionals.
