Hi Everyone,
As many of you know, we made a decision yesterday to focus 100% of the company on enhancing the features and services we offer to paying
Ning Creators. The tens of thousands of you who already use our paid
service represent over 75% of our traffic, and we’ve heard repeatedly
from you ways that we can deliver a killer service to help make your
Ning Network more effective. Some examples of things we are working on
that you’ve asked for include new APIs, a new mobile experience and new
advertising and revenue opportunities.
As part of this change, we’ll be phasing out our free service. On May 4, 2010, we will share with you all of the details of our new
offering, including features and price points, through a series of blog
posts, emails, and conference calls. We recognize that there are many
active Ning Networks for teachers, small non-profits, and individuals
and its our goal to have a set of product and pricing options that will
make sense for all of them. For Ning Creators using our free service
who choose to move to another service, we will offer a migration path
and time to make that change. We will still continue to allow free
trials and test networks on the Ning Platform.
We look forward to talking to you further on May 4th.
