global proceedings aggregator?

[Barry Owen]

Michael . .. What you describe is out there

www.ning.com

I have a site up @ www.realestatetowncenter.ning.com

if you wanna play inside just pop in and request entry.

It's a complete "Social Network"

Customizable

Can be private/secure

Each Member can have personal and blog pages

the "Main page" reports every member action

Chat is there

Discussion board to collect threads

Members can form groups

I believe this site IS on-line OST

Anyone can create a ning site and it's free (you can pay for an upgrade, but
I have not needed to)

Hope this helps,

b
