And yes, the downside of Ning is that it is too slow. It's a cool concept though and I'm sure all of this can only get better.

Hey Joe,
I created a ning for the MLA tech team last year and that's what you somehow stumbled upon. It's an old Ning that was created prior to this new interface upgrade. The tech team used it just to have the experience. The idea posed was whether when you join MLA you could have a Ning for members and I see that this is what ALA is doing now. FYI - We also did a Ning early this year for MAPLA so they would get the idea too. Since then, Nings are really getting hot which is cool!

Hey Joe! (Bet you've gotten a lot of Jimi Hendrix allusions over the years.) If you're not in Facebook, you might want to give that a try. I'm having more fun there than in the Ning networks, which I find load too slowly for my caffeine-addled brain.
