A few years ago I joined the Ning created for librarians in the central region
of Sweden but that Ning rests in peace or is longtime parked.
We collaborate with two other libraries (information and interlibrary loans ILS) The speed of that NIng is about 30km/hr.
- I have some private Nings and there was some activity in the beginning
but now it's slowed down to about 20 km/hr. People like to contribute with photos or funny videos.
- At the Stockholm County Library we are testing different Nings, but sporadically.
- Our 23 Things Ning, though, is at full speed with many eager colleagues, at least 100km/hr! The lottery takes place in December 2008.
But there is a lack of time to get involved in more than this network, the
23 Things Ning. Suddenly there was an explosion of too many platforms
simultaneously, and I'm not even very active on Facebook!
You need to have something constructive to say before you write it down!

Ning allows us to keep in touch with co-workers throughout the county. I think it has worked as a great tool for the 23 things learning project. All participants engage in one common social forum, and this creates a sense of being part of a bigger community. I think this makes learning easier.
