Thing 10 Nings

I found Nings a bit confusing. I have an account created a year ago but have never used it. I explored and found several scrapbooking nings and children's literature nings. I explored the Digiscrap 101 Ning and the Childrens' writers, illustrators, and publishers ning. The latter didn't excite me at all. In some ways it seems like this is reinventing the wheel. You create a social network in Facebook, so why do it here as well. But, I know that I'll see how someone else has utilized this tool and begin to think differently one of these days. It's amazing what the creative powers of human can envision. So, far now, I'll spend my time doing something else.
