Where do you find the time?
That is a question I hear a lot from people that are trying to find time to participate in the social-sphere. Frankly, I wonder where I find the time to be on twitter, stay connected on facebook, track my old colleagues on LinkedIn and stay up to date in other places like YouTube, Namyz and Flickr. But, for all of my engagement in those social networks, none of them help me amplify my true interests by connecting with other like-minded people around topics and things that I dig.
Recently, I dove deeper on Ning. The community platform that allows anyone to create a turnkey social network and invite others to join in. I've joined networks about tattoos, sneakers, The Boston Red Sox, marketing with more to come. My involvement in these communities creates a mosaic of who I am. If someone that didn't know me wanted to take a peek at what networks I belonged to on Ning, they would probably have a clear picture of who I am and what I'm interested in.
Being on Ning goes beyond just being a 'fan' like on facebook or 'following' like on twitter. It allows me to pop in and out of material and content that I want to engage within. People that have real passions want to learn and engage others that share that passion - it is the common thread that connects people no matter where they are in the world.
So, if you find the time come get Ning'd.
