After paying mucho dollars for  a community website for a number of years, I recently decided to create a Ning social networking site for the Town of Ledyard where I live and work.   And while I am still playing with the bells and whistles, so far I really like what I see.

For Realtors®, Ning can be used as a community  resource with a social network component; a place to post links, photos and videos but also to engage your local community.  To get started, you need to sign up for a free Ning account. The Ning program will then walk you through the design process.  I found it similar (but easier) than setting up a blog.  Your management dashboard will give you choices of how your main page can look including color schemes and themes, as well as drag and drop modules like forums, chat windows and photos.

You’ll find my new Ning site at Ledyard Online and my Ning Review at the Realty Agents product review site.
