Ning

The social aspects of the web continue to be one of its biggest draws for many less technical types. I know something big's happening when my mum asks for my flickr details. Building on this new found lust for sharing and socialising, I've seen a few rumblings of new projects which try to demystify the various web APIs and provide a tool set for less technical types to make their own social web apps.

Ning is one great example, it allows you to choose tools to make a range of personalised sites that mimic the best (and worst) of the common web tools. Select apps you like, clone them and personalise them - before you know it you can have your own (lite version) of social bookmarking site, make a Googlemap mash-up, share photographs or run a Hot or Not style competition. There's more to explore and use, and more tools on the way. Like all good Web 2.0 things, it's free to sign up and play.
