in WidgetLaboratory Continues to Air Ning's Secrets on Sharing at Work
You guys realize that there is an awesome new online service called "GOOGLE" right?...
It's not worth rehashing all that's happened since August, but it does have a happy (and non messy) ending.
1) Ning boots WL, claims we are bad guys and promises all their clients to deliver all good things. We air the correspondence and claim that they are acting in bad faith and are not being forthright;
2) WidgetLaboratory signs a lucrative contract with SocialGo team to create social network platform with better features and terms of service, using over a year of hands-on experience;
3) Ning breaks all promises to its customers and then shuts down their entire network api, public forum, upload access, and all remaining 3rd party developers;
4) Ning breaks all promises to Adult Content owners and gives them less than four weeks to get out, but provides no tools to help them move;
5) WL offers free migration tools to all Ning owners to help them migrate, and to show that Ning could provide the same but won't do so unless forced or shamed into doing the same;
6) SocialGO is moving from Beta into final and is delivering a special package for adult content owners in addition to their regular offerings;
In sum:
Ning's actions have demonstrated their lack of veracity... WL and SocialGO are providing the tools and customer agreement/support that was promised but never delivered by Ning. No fuss, no muss. Pretty simple. Touch them or not, there are hundreds of thousands who need and want such solutions.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the updates Spencer. I was kinda worried that RacingSchools was a spam commenter but wanted to give him/her the benefit of the doubt.
Nice to see that your business is still growing after the unpleasantness with Ning. I checked SocialGo out this morning and it's now definitely on my list of options when recommending ad-hoc social networks to folks.
While you're here, can you tell me what you think about Facebook FriendConnect and Google OpenSocial? If those expand a bit more they seem like they could really threaten Ning et al - who needs to buy a social network when you can just paste one into an existing site?

I've recently moved my ning site over to social go after reading the sociago website which clearly stated that it supported adult sites and offered free membership. Now, after accepting tens of thousands of adult users, they have changed this policy to cash in. The socialgo version of the site will be closing shortly. It's a shame I have to mess people about, but it's out of my hands. I would advise all those who have recently migrated from ning to go back to using the ning site, and investigate other possiblities from there. Clearly, socialgo is not an answer. Socialgo - the site this is hosted on now, have decided to charge for "adult" sites, and force such site to purchase their own domain name. It would cost arounf $60p/a for anon domain registration and $14.95 per month minimum for socialgo hosting. (And that's a basic package). This comes after they offered a free service and accepted thousands of adult sites over the last two weeks. It reallly smells and it means that I'm still looking for somewhere to move this (and the other) site. Any suggestions welcome! http://www.socialgo.com/help/topic.php? … ics/276467 So socialgo lied. I don't like liars. Not good for discretion, privacy or trust. It also concerns me that socialgo is based in the UK where they don't exactly have a great history of corporate privacy or truthfulness. Quite apart from that, socialgo doesn't work when more then two people go online... (Posting on a forum seems to be the only way to allow people to see this message. The broadcast function on my socialgo site doesn't work, so I'm using this site.)
