You can export all the info that Ning has and move it somewhere else if you want to. I’ve never really groked this “Ning owns all the info about people in your network” objection that floats around. Here’s the docs:

Not really sure what you mean by the single sign-on, and I’m not sure I would have an answer if I did.

That is cool. I was wondering if you also figured out how to do Single sign-on with Ning. Let’s say I have a mobile app and I want to access Ning through my app with SSO instead of through Ning to access my app.

My issue is that Ning at the end of the day owns my users and if I created a base of users I would like to keep it.

MoMo Mike, from Ning, has been doing what he loves – integrating the mobile and Web. He’s been using Ning, of course. It was a long time coming, and he’s doing it on his own, but I was waiting for

Hi Mike,

Have you looked at 411Sync ? 411Sync has an SMS API to make content mobile and accessible from any handset using SMS.

For example, I just picked up a popular app from Ning – http://restaurants.ning.com/ and mobilized it using 411Sync API.

I made an SMS query “ningfood” to return back top restaurants from this app. Send “ningfood” to sms@411sync.com and you will get the list back. You can check out this SMS service at http://www.411sync.com/cgi-bin/biz_login.cgi#anchor14. Worked from email, cingular and verizon phone.

I was able to code up this app in less than 5 minutes. Of course, one can write more complex apps as well.
