I don’t want to say that I have a “favorite” feature of your own social network on Ning. That would be like saying you have a favorite child.

But one of my favorite features of your own social network on Ning is the ability to customize your flash video player and flash photo slideshows on your social network on Ning.

You can watermark them so they look like this video from the Offshore for San Francisco Surf & Happenings:

Or this video from American Idol Fan Central:

Or how I stopped worrying and learned to love a good online party

Creating your own social network is a lot like hosting a fabulous party. Like all parties, it usually starts with being an interesting person and a love of meeting people. Bands and porn stars work too. Just kidding.

Like any party, it also takes a little bit of preparation to take cheap beer and stale chips and turn it into a night to remember.
