Aside from Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and some other social network sites, I never knew the existence of Ning until I became a member of mbaebusiness.ning.com. Creating a social network site concerning a topic or a theme has never been so easy with Ning. It’s been 6 months since I’ve been part of MBAE-business social network and I really love it. People with the same interest like me gather together in the platform to update each other by sharing files, information and ideas.
By the way, mbaebusiness.ning.com is a network of digitally passionate individuals, professionals, current students and graduates of MBA E-business of Paris Graduate School of Management.
