You could think of it as a federated network of social networks (like anyone could spin up their own version of Facebook for their community), and the apps that ran on them (like Facebook apps) could be reused. You could write an app once (e.g., a poll app) and run it on any Ning network.

There was a time when everyone in tech thought Facebook was going to eat all apps, because the social graph they owned would make the experience superior. E.g., restaurant recommendations are better when you can see your friend's recs. The news is better, etc. Ning (and others) were partly an attempt to fight this.

3s is actually the original game that was then ripped off by 2048 and a million other mobile clones. (But either way this frame is cool!)

I don’t think I realized Steinbeck wrote nonfiction. Neat, will have to check that out!
