"Everybody get together..." (Week 17)


I completed the activity exploring the use of nings in social networking. I liked the Mosman Readers ning now www.mosmanreaders.net.au as it connects members of a reading community. It allows them to share profiles, identify common reading interests and get to know each other in a digital environment.

I also looked at the Library 2.0 ning which seemed a good way to facilitate ideas among the academic library community. It would be particularly useful for library students as a type of online learning forum.

I tried to find an Australian fashion ning to further my interest in fashion and vintage fashion. The closest I found was MrsPam - Vintage fashion:

This might be because ning is an older social networking fad.
