We have all heard of the big name social networks such as Myspace, Facebook, and all the rest of them. But i bet you’ve never heard that you can build your very own for free. Using the power of Ning.com you can customize your very own social network and use it to bring communities, groups, and friends together in one place.

All you have to do is sign up, and create a social network by entering the name and web address you would like to use. If you need to use your own domain you must pay a fee along with various other features. After that it’s easy as drag and drop, literally. When building the network you have three colums in which you can drop various additions to your social network including photo’s, forum’s, groups, videos, blogs, and much more. However they do have limitations on how much can be uploaded to their servers. For example: I believe that you’re only allowed to have 500 pictures in total on your network unless you pay a fee.

Ning also allows you to customize how your social network looks, and feels. You can edit the header, information, and even the CSS. People have also gone as far as making Ning their own by paying extra fee’s so they can make the social network a part of their community. An example of this would be Chris’s social network.

Ning is becoming very popular, so you may be interested in starting your own Social Network before names start running out.
