ago I had a conversation with a professor on the edge of this area – and he
told me that he thought the future of this community networking would be
connected to the individual spaces more and more people put up all over –

opportunities on Facebook – which I will look into, and I know there are
on LinkedIn but that’s another thing I want to test more.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

beautifully simple to use and adapt to your own purposes the uptake has
been erratic and limited to a few. It seems to me that Ning
suffers from being detached from the rest of the individuals in the group's
everyday computer life. The friend who set up the group finds linkedIN
much more satisfying because there is a large pool of like minded
people engaging so like <st1:PersonName w:st="on">OSLIST</st1:PersonName> there
is rarely down time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
I've started a Ning site because of a great experience I am having on Seth
Godin's Triiibes site.<br>
<br>
I think it's a little too "heavy" to be all that useful as a
"warm-up" space . . . <br>
<br>
Seems to be more suitable for longer term community building.<br>
<br>
My experience is that less than 10% of the members are participating at any
given time. Seth Godin's site has @ 3700 folks . . . and somewhere around 200
participate regularly<br>
<br>
So . . . Until it "scales" it's not useful for folks who are
overwhelmed by the complexity it offers.<br>
<br>
My site is at <a href="http://www.realestatetowncenter.ning.com/"
target="_blank">www.realestatetowncenter.ning.com</a> and is a "closed,
safe space for REALTORS to explore issues and opportunities facing them in
today's complex market"<br>
<br>
3 weeks in and membership is @ 25 and growing daily . . . I really am not
expecting significant chatter there until it hits at least 100 members<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>

Some answers regarding web conferencing.<br>
<br>
In the Genuine Contact community we've tried a few different means for web<br>
conferencing/real time meetings. We had some challenges with stability<br>
regarding Skype, Messenger (both Yahoo and Microsoft) and have now tested<br>
and decided to purchase licenses to use Microsoft Live Meeting which seems<br>
more reliable and has good and easy functionality.<br>
<br>
We have also developed ways to facilitate real time distance meetings. We<br>
have captured this in a Manual. If anyone is interested there is a file to<br>
download from my website. Here's the direct link:<br>
