Hello everyone, I am a huge fan of this site, I make a habit of visiting 2-3 times a day.
I respect each and everyone of you, Some times when I read your posts I feel your joys and pains as we all in the same boat here.<p>I am the founder of 2 sites, one launched 6 months ago (made many many mistake) and I am getting ready to launch my new baby in a month or so.<p>ok, thats just an introduction.<p>the reason I am here is to simply share the fact that I have started a side project to develop for the ning platform, I only know one other company that is developing exclusively for Ning (not saying there isnt more).
anyway, the reason I am posting this is to see if anybody else is secretly hacking away on apps for ning??<p>Just a quick note, We are developing apps that the network creator can install on their whole networks, so its really more than a user "widget" if you will.
Thanks
My first thought was how much this sounds like "All my friends are using Facebook while I secretly am using Ning." A social network's not very helpful if you're the only one on there. ;-)<p>But the network effects are far different for app developers than for users. Good luck, let us know how it goes!
Another question, has anyone made any money off a facebook app or myspace, etc.? I'm not convinced that providing entertainment services would be monitizable period. Thus you add value for them, spend money on servers, get 100k users, that pay you nothing.
