Ning just announced its new Wordpress plugin to integrate a Wordpress blog with a Ning social network.
This is great news for social networks that have sprung from blogs, such as NewCadet.com and Get Into Academy. Because now members on the Ning can comment with a synchronized profile on the Wordpress blog. Meanwhile, the Ning member’s activity on the Wordpress blog will be reflected on the social network’s Recent Activity feed.
I haven’t tested out the Ning Wordpress plugin yet, but I hope that in the future it will offer an option to allow Ning members to post entries to the Wordpress blog. Better yet, it would be cool if you could set a Blogger class on Ning where blog posts from these members on Ning also get published onto Wordpress. This would truly be a fully integrated Ning-Wordpress experience!
This new plugin is a smart move on Ning’s part because it makes creating a Ning an even more logical choice for blogs that have medium to large reader communities.
