Hi Annie,

"With friends like these ... ", is a very interesting article. It kind of reinforces my own questions regarding these platforms being run by those who do not care or even know the context of the people who use them. As in, they are only interested in money really, not the art etc...

Our recent experiment with ning for Netbehaviour is to try and build a social networking group that relates more to our own shared practices and interests, administrated by those who give a damn.

This is the correct link 
http://netbehaviour.ning.com

We are not sure what is going to happen with the ning project, but people are joining it and seem to uploading a lot of interesting material. It's a bit like this list but visual I suppose, plus facilities for uploading audio, video and images as well as offering who ever joins their own blog page, which connects to the main Netbehaviour ning blog.

I't the kind of thing that we have trying to do with Furtherfield, but we just hasve not had the money or time to build something so effective. So we thought why not jump on someone else's system and learn about it with others as a community, and then perhaps we can build something similar with Drupal code in the future, but for now we can all have fun on the current one.

wishing you well.

marc
