Taking Social Actions to the Next Level

Through the support of the NetSquared community and related grants and prizes, my team and I were able to attract sufficient funding to give life to a vision I had been promoting for close to a year.

- Peter, is there a way to easily invite only certain Ning members to an event? It looks like you can enter email addresses, or invite all members or all friends. I'd like use Ning instead of email to remind members who are staff of our platform partners about Wednesday's Change the Web conference call. Thanks for any suggestions that'd make that quick & easy to do.
