Thing 10: Ning

Ning is new to me. I was not familiar with it until this assignment. As I was reading through the “ChartingStocks blog post,” it disturbed me to read the following: “If you are a member of a Ning site, you will know about it quickly. Ning networks are bombarded by spam invites to join other networks on Ning.” If this were true, why would anyone want to join?

I proceeded to the Ning.com website and typed "library" in the search box. After browsing the results, the 7th item titled "Joy of Reference" caught my attention. I expected to find more discussion related to Reference work.
