We’re going to try a new pilot program for an online community (through Ning.com) we’ve affectionately named, The Warband. It’s a little more involved than a simple blog, because you create a profile, add content and network with other fans. You can add pics, videos and post comments about music or books on the forum. It’s something we’re just trying out as a companion to my main site, so I’ll discontinue it if no one is interested. But I constantly hear how popular this sort of thing is, especially with the younger book-reading audience. Let me know what you think.

Well, perhaps I’ll try it out…I don’t really get it, but it still sounds like it could be fun!
Sweet!
How is this different than Facebook?
Come on, people, let’s have some conversation! This is supposed to be a flog, is it not? Talk! Speak! share! comment! oh, and just so you all know, it is random question day today…and tomorrow…!!
Let’s see. There’s 33Live, CH MySpace, facebook, DIBOR, Grandath Films, Kingdom Kitesurfing, The White Lion Chrinicles, this wordpress, and NOW a Ning site? I pay homage to your Webmasterness.
May you live and prosper forever.

Thanks for all the interest gang. A bunch of people have signed up.
Mooney: My wife was just laughing at me last night for the very same premise. LOL How many sites do you want?
Nathan: Not exactly sure how it’s different from FaceBook (as I try and let other people handle my FaceBook account…shallow? Maybe. Time saving? Definitely!). I just know a bunch of teens have recommended I get some sort of forum going that incorporates profiles and a high amount of “activity.” This seemed to fit the bill (and is consequently one of the parent companies to Flickr and FaceBook and other online communities).
Enjoy!
