Marc Andreessen, who is, of late, connected to Ning, has a great blog entry with details. Google has a number of partners, including social network sites like LinkedIn, Friendster and Ning, as well as Salesforce, which does have very interesting implications given the increasing use of Salesforce in the nonprofit sector.

Let's create a Ning site! Maybe it will work. If your organization isn't measuring the results of its social media initiatives, you may be wasting time and effort.

Now I'm that grown up who stays up late building communities for my obscure personal interests on Ning, and aimlessly chatting with my long-lost friends from elementary school on Facebook, and even (cough, cough) playing on Polyvore. .

The public sites have already collected over 800 new ideas and will continue to until at least through March 19, 2010. It therefore comes as no surprise that a number of our staff have made a commitment to contributing their ideas on open government outside of work. A select group of these ideas are provided below.

Think a whitebox version of Ning, or Facebook. It’s definitely a new project, and a very new community (with some huge warts) but it is promising for organizations that want to create private (or public, perhaps) social networks that include groups, discussions, document sharing, bookmarking, blogs and other things.
