Update to Product Roadmap and Communication Changes

Thank you for your patience over the past several weeks. As you know, we closely follow and appreciate the feedback you share on Creators, and we’d like to make a couple of important announcements related to your posts. 

First, regarding the product, the team has been working over the last several months on re-architecting and re-developing a new Activity Feed for Ning 3.0. The new Activity Feed will include the addition of statuses and more embeds based on pasting links into the status field. This isn’t everything that the team is working on but the most significant short term new capability. We are planning to release this feature in July.

We also wanted to address the downtime that some of you experienced on May 26th and 27th. After the scheduled maintenance on Monday to update a group of servers, we discovered that some of the backup servers were malfunctioning. We've corrected this and have changed our operating procedures to prevent this from happening again.

On the communication side, based on several factors including resources and priorities, we have made the decision that we will no longer be involved in providing day-to-day support and feedback through the Creators community. Communication from the Ning team needs to be focused on product capabilities and new releases and other general announcements such as this one. Our team is focusing on expanding some of the planned features that we already have in development. Once we have more information to share with you, we will do it here. 

Please continue to use this community as a productive place to have conversations about how to build, grow, and manage Ning Networks. We will continue to provide technical support through tickets and phone. As always, phone support is available to those with networks on Pro, Performance and Ultimate plans. Our technical support team is available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm PST.

  • How many folks here are in the SF Bay Area? Lets get together and go to the GLAM building in person. I've been there a few times already back when our old Ning team cared. 

    Even better if you are part of the now meaningless "Ning Council". It's time to band together and show force, this is ridiculous.  I don't often feel passionate about making change, but damnit this is personal. We need to start stirring up press as well, can anyone write a solid press release/announcement? It should not be emotionally charged and stick to the facts, we're paying much more than we were and getting marginal service levels.

    • I'm not in the SF area (or even the US) but agree whole heartedy that we need to get radical. I am happy to help in any way!
  • Wow. Really? Still nothing?

  • this update was in May???????? is anyone working there, I'm starting to look at replacements re ning and I've been with you for 8 years?????

  • Waiting...........

  • Most of remaining Ning employees probably work in home  offices around the world so a large central location is probably not important.  The sign is not very impressive and  hopefully will be improved.  I used to use Posterous before it was bought by Twitter.  Twitter just took all of the programmers and shut down the Posterous blog.  Glam Media probably did something similar. I hope the remaining programmers can eventually meet their goals

  • Oh My.....hahaahha...(ducks and runs ...)
