On July 5, 2009, my Salem Area Chamber of Commerce social network, called Face2Face, was featured by the developers of Ning as an example of how to create an online community. That's more great press for a technological innovation!
Ning is the name of the company who developed the technology on which this site and hundreds of thousands of other brandable online social networks are built. This platform is incredibly stable, customizable and user-friendly. A customized Ning-platform social network is just one of the services of Fast Chamber's new service line called CONVERGE - Online Social Mediation.

This new service means that, if you want a site like this, you can have one... And it's affordable! More to come, so stay tuned.
