  • Ning is garbage
    great idea for networking but the content on these sites are junk.... content needs to be better...

    Here are two companies who are more interested in making social content instead of social networking one
    apollomatrix.com is more of an SEO company that builds custom social content sites for 10K it has all the common social network functionality and plenty of any extensions available. They will complete a custom business development program for you and they help incubate startups.

    Another Site I just heard about http://buildasocialnetworkingbusiness.com/

    Is doing a Grand opening launch April 1st 2009 they are selling 100 sites for $100 at http://buildasocialnetworkingbusiness.com/ ... I would watch out for these two companies
