Life-"Ning"
Now Online

"Niche Version of MySpace: Next Big Thing on the Internet" says the newspaper headline, announcing the launch of Ning.com -- an online social networking server where anyone can create a social network with its own boundaries. That same day saw the launch of LifeRing on Ning, lifering .ning .com. LifeRing on Ning offers a rich feature set that combines text messaging, blogging, photos, video, and personal web pages. It's a supplement to the traditional chat, email, and forum platforms of LifeRing online. For a generation raised on MySpace, LifeRing on Ning may become the channel of choice for sobriety support. Maybe this Ning thing can also help more people come together and form local meetings. -- Marty N. 3/12/07.
