I think Gary that there are keywords, like "bomb," "US government," and then ESPECIALLY incorporating keywords together, like "Bomb US Government" in which case Alarm Bells go off, the color changes from green to yellow to red on the big board and a low level employee is dispatched to the persons house to perform a cursory investigation and check to be sure that an ample supply of additive laced food is in the refrigerator.

Oh, gotta go, there's the doorbell... someones at the door...

Let's look at it this way? Maybe?

Ning gives people the ability to create web sites devoted to a particular subject, from collecting daisies to working against the NWO and from Pro-Gaza to Pro-Skin Head, and it collects all of these groups under one umbrella, in one place, where the members views can be carefully accessed and collected, cross-referenced with their other internet activities, their on-line banking, on-line purchases, on-line medical data and everything else for ease of access by the NSA, the CIA, and other organizations whose names we may not even know.

Facebook is no different then this site. Exactly the same, owned by the same groups. Search for a while about Ning and it's current owners and their affiliations to the US Army and other government organizations.

Like Gary says, all sites are useful. My last post here was March 18th, Thirty-One days ago. I've gone from 150 Facebook connections to 260 in 32 days. That's more then 3 connections a day, all based on my editorial posts. I have friends in Gaza, Egypt, Poland, France, Germany, the UK, Italy and many more cities across the globe. I can post video for my friends in Gaza and Egypt that can't get YouTube and I can post editorial content that isn't available in every country also.

The internet, all of it, is a useful tool.

Thats ok, I use the crap out of it along with other sites while we can. Internet 2 is in-bound.

Facebook is a tool use it for good, Everything is already tracked and traced so it is too late to be scared now.

Me too.

By the way, in two weeks time I went from 37 Facebook connections to 150+ and I ever requested one of them. It's a powerful social web site. Just as good as Ning. Perhaps better in some respects.

Greg. I'm not a particular fan of any web site provider, Facebook, Ning, Blogger, WordPress or any other.

I have pages on Blogger that I use.

I have pages on WordPress that I use.

I have pages on Ning that I use.

2 weeks ago or so I decided to use Facebook, since I had a page there that I started several years ago that sat pretty much dormant, to see what was happening on Facebook. I decided to undertake an investigation of the web site.

What's Facebook human interaction like? What are the people like? Mainstream? A little offbeat? Radical? What ages? Like MySpace? A bunch of kids? Like Gather? Right wing adults?


I've come to realize that the action or activity there is pretty exciting. That doesn't mean I'm a fan of Facebook and I'm also not a fan of Ning but certainly I'm willing to use any technology that creates dialogue between people. My goal isn't Facebook, or Ning, it's human dialogue.

I'm a member of the Washington Post. I post comments in the Editorial Section.
The New York Times.
Many different Ning sites. One is an Atheist site. One is this one. There are others.
I'm a member of other peoples blogger sites, called a follower.
I follow Len Harts blog, among many others, many, many.
I have my own blogger pages, 8 of them.
I follow Wonders Of Pakistan by Dr. Nayyar Hashmey.
You'll see my many comments there.

I'm on, literally, 100s of web sites with posts and commentary.

I try to spread myself across the internet and by doing so I eventually have some influence on a great number of people.

Since posting to Facebook several weeks ago I befriended a 70 year old Atheist attorney fighting for Palestinian rights.

I befriended a 30 year old Christian who uses Rachel Corries picture as his icon and fights for Palestinian rights.

I befriended 20 year old girl in Israel fighting against pharmaceutical companies drugging our kids.

I've found a place with a great variety of people and tremendous activity.

It's just another web site provider that I've chosen to take advantage of for as long as we all have the internet and I suspect that won't be much longer, maybe less then 10 years. For now I try to be everywhere.

I'm laughing. An ex-Goldman Sachs employee that you think is very down to earth. That's hilarious. How can you possibly claim a person is down to earth without having had extensive conversations with them, at length. You can't. That's an opinion based on, what? Nothing. Nothing worth basing it on anyway.

Ning is no different then any other Social Network and in fact probably has a closer relationship with spook agencies then Facebook or at least one that's equivalent. These Ning sites are held by right-wing wackos in the thousands, specifically the people the government is most afraid of. Remember MIAC? Well, welcome to the real world. Down to earth? Goldman Sachs? Right. She's probably a good Christian member of your church?

Her partner, Andreessen is on the board of directors of Facebook and eBay both. He's also the founder of Mosaic, the very first web browser and he's also the founder of NetScape. He owns a majority interest in Skype. His partner, Horowitz, builds infrastructure software for the US Army.

Let's face it, you don't know the first thing about these people and neither do I and to say she's very down to earth is a comment with no basis in fact, and I prefer facts, especially with stuff like this.

As I said below, because we need to know. That doesn't mean we stop living.

Tell me, how do you know Ning doesn't save your info if you leave a group?
