Ning Fails at Free Social Networking | Epicenter Ning co-founder Marc Andreessen promised Ning network creators they would be able to port their networks elsewhere. Now, they may have good reason to do so. Ning, a brainchild of Netscape bazillionaire Marc Andreessen that was designed to let anyone make a social network about anything for free, won’t do it anymore. Each of the service’s 2.3 million networks’ users will disappear unless its creator either pays Ning or migrate the network to another platform. So much for “free” as the future of business — as far as Ning goes, anyway. The company accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from investors, and they apparently want more of a return than Ning is able to provide as a free service. We are going to change our strategy to devote 100 percent of our resources to building the winning product to capture this big opportunity. Once again — see Tripod, Imeem, etc. — users of a web service have had the rules switched on them once they began relying on a service. There will be now. See Also:
