About the Ning
How the Ning relates to activism
The changes being made
This is a big deal. The ning is a free social networking platform that allows any user free of cost to create their own online community with profiles, blogs, forums and more. I know of the Ning because a lot of youtuber's use it as a pseudo fan/community site for their subscribers. The ning has been used by everyone from politicians, non profits, and everyone in between. There has been a shift in management and the new guy is going to start charging for their service thus eliminating so many communities and their base. What was a free platform for advocacy, communities, and outreach is now just another tool to make money.
If you read any of the comments to the CEOs blog post my sentiments are echoed among a lot of the users who have utilized the free services.

So if it is just a new way of making money, why is it a big deal? How is it different than traditional media profit machines?...
