Thing 26 Ning

I joined the 23 Things Ning in the first round, but didn't use it too much. I tended to comment via blog comments if I had a question or comment. I did upload a few pictures and joined an Irish ancestry group for the heck of it. Maybe I'll join a few for crafts or genealogy or something, too.
I think a Ning could be useful in a classroom setting - set up a ning for the class and people can participate in activities that way. Teachers could post discussion questions, students could ask questions, etc. and it would be a convenient way for everyone to be involved.
While a Ning could have use for a far-flung family, I'm finding that Facebook works better for that. It's much easier to keep track of what everyone's doing that way, plus I can see when they're on and have a chat.
