"Hey Lisa, just to clarify, did you list goals that your members then ranked or did you leave it open ended for your members to set the goals. If you listed the goals, then I would be curious to know what they were. Thanks for the input!"

"We did a survey one year after our closed network started and the most valuable question we asked was for respondents to rank goals for the site. This is how we learned that our members wanted the site to serve educational purposes rather than just…"

"How do you collect and examine the data from the survey? Do you use a third-party survey form/site of some kind? Or do you go through all the emails one by one? I have almost 7,500 members on my network, so I'd rather use some kind of survey…"

If you could ask your members any questions...

"Hi Deb, That's a great way of looking at it, thank you. One of our key issues is ensuring everyone knows how to use the site, and therefore encouraging active participation. Although all our users are obliged to log on frequently, many do not…"

Fred Paxton replied to Eric Suesz's discussion 'Ning mobile: a first look at the basics'

"Great to hear work is being done on the mobile version. Our Groups and Events are our most used sections - our members are crying out for these to be included in anything new. So please bear that in mind! Thanks"

Fred Paxton replied to Harald Mueller's discussion 'Events on mobile' in the group Ning Mobile Alpha
