[webproducers] Re: web producers profiles ??

Morry,
My friend, Jonathan Hull, is the East Coast rep for Ning. He can help you
with any questions you have.

I've cc'd him here.

Yes, choosing a platform is definitely a big decisions. Do you use an Open
Soure package? Or, do you go with a hosted service like Ning, Square Space,
Wordpress, etc... I like Ning and it's something I know that we're going to
be developing for.

There is BuddyPress, which is a fork of Wordpress. I'm possibly building my
new Netmix social platform on BuddyPress, mainly because it's blogging
intensive and I like the plugins that exist already for Wordpress. But, I'm
not absolutely sure yet. I'm considering Ning, but I may choose BuddyPress
because I'm raising money and need to control the platform. So Ning might
not be right for me for that reason. I want to control the code at the end
of the day and not put my eggs in one basket. But for a user group, Ning
would be a perfect solution. You might also want to consider CrowdVine too.
Web 2.0 Expo uses Crowd Vine as their platform.
