DAAP Seniors Network with Ning
When I was in school, we used Blogger to stay in touch with our classmates while each of us traveled off to different cities around the U.S. It worked well at the time but admittedly seems a little low-tech at this point. This year, University of Cincinnati’s Industrial Design students are using Ning to create a more powerful social network with each other and with the professional design world. Beyond just using a single blog like we did, Ning is letting them collaborate, connect, and have their own pages as well.
Students have long been the trendsetters in social media. But unlike the beautiful distraction that is Facebook, they’re taking advantage of social networks to get jobs and exposure of their work. Nice work!

Thanks Mike! As you said, we hope to use the site not only to network with each other but also the design community, while blogging the progress of our thesis projects. We appreciate the post!
Best,
