Ning on GigaOM & SearchBlog
It looks like Ning has been picked up on some heavyweight blogs today:
I’ll save my comments on Ning for another post, another time. I certainly think that Ning shows just how tenuous, from a technology perspective, the Web 2.0 sites hold on users can be.
In any case, I’m going to take this opportunity to share instead one of life’s little pleasures – seeing a friend’s name in print. I first met Gina Bianchini in high school here in the Bay Area, and got to catch up with her a few years ago when she accompanied another Stanford friend to one of my birthday parties. Growing up in Silicon Valley is fun that way.
I remember hearing the news when Gina took on the opportunity, and its great to see some positive press around Ning. Like all startups, it certainly seems to have evolved considerably from its early days.
Honestly, seeing Gina’s company called out on these major blogs is just a really nice way to start the day. Congratulations to Gina & the Ning team.
