demise of Ning

[Wendy Farmer-O'Neil]

Hi Artur,

It was via a very reliable social media expert who is a friend.  URL  
here: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/15/nings-bubble-bursts-no-more-free-networks-cuts-40-of-staff/

Doesn't seem inspired  by Crowdvine.  Their offer was buried way down  
in the comments stream.

Glad to hear we will continue for the present.

Best,
Wendy
