The create-your-own-social-network platform Ning has now produced nearly half a million social networks, with a new one created every 30 seconds, CEO and founder Gina Bianchini says. [2]
Gina Bianchini: The way we look at virility or viral expansion is; the ability for a social network in this particular case to propagate itself. [3]

Gina Bianchini is CEO of Ning, which she co-founded with famed web developer Marc Andreessen. [6]
Gina Bianchini, co-founder of the social networking service provider NING, ought to know. [1]
Why she matters: Facebook and MySpace get the attention, but Bianchini’s Ning might be the most exciting thing in social networking right now. [5]
A white label social network platform, Ning has over a quarter of a million implementations ranging from “Hip Hop Is Us” to “Powerful Intentions: The Law of Attraction,” taking long-tail passions to a whole new level of interaction. [...] Gina (”bee-yon-kini”) has recently rocked the social media world with the valuation she’s created ($60 mil on a $500 mil pre) at Ning. [3]
My observation here and in dealing with many company executives is that perhaps the word social, as in social network, throws off corporate executives as to the business value of such networks. [2]
She wanted a custom-designed social networking site, like her engineer friends had built for themselves. [1]
Prior to Ning, Bianchini was co-founder and president of Harmonic Communications which was acquired by Dentsu. [6]
In the case of her second Internet start-up, NING, which Bianchini launched with partner Marc Andreessen (the co-founder of Netscape) in 2007, her lack of deep technical expertise was actually her source of inspiration. [...] NING now has 90 employees and hosts roughly 430,000 social networks, with about 2,000 new networks added every day. [1]
