Ningは一般ユーザーが簡単に独自SNSを作成できるサービスで、昨今急成長を遂げています
。
この度、Ning appsを開始しました。Ning Appsはサードパーティデベロッパーが作成したOpensocialアプリを、Ning上で独自のSNSを運営している人が簡単に自SNSに組み込むことができるサービスです。
****
スタート時点でNing Appsは、90種類の新機能をネットワーククリエーターに提供する。さまざまなウェブサービスのわたる52社のデベロッパーが作ったものだ。これでネットワーククリエーターは、TokBoxを使ってビデオチャットを組み込んだり、Wildfireでコンテストを開催したり、Wikiを作ったりすることができる。しかも、ネットワーク管理者は収益化オプションを簡単に組み込むことができるので、Cartflyで物品を販売したり、Amiandoなどのチケット発行アプリを通じてチケットを発行したりできるようになる。

Facebookのような単独で巨大なSNSも面白いですが、NingはFacebookではユーザーのニーズを満たしきれない、ニッチなユーザーを囲っていっています。Ning Appsはそんなニッチなニーズを更に満たすことができるサービスになると思います。
追記：利用可能なAppリストですvia:mashable
NingはニッチなSNSが多いので、FacebookやMyspaceと違って、特定のファンを集めて物販で稼ぐモデルが主流になりそうな気がします。
