Ning, PWGD, viral growth / network effects, Drupal

Article on Ning, which acts as if network effects (something becomes more valuable the more people using it) are something new. Which is fine. The question not asked, here or ever, is why should this vast value which WE all create be controlled by a corporation or individual? That's the question PWGD hopes to answer with an alternative that is not-for-profit and not controlled by any group. Note that the Fast Company web site, which has very impressive social networking features of its own, is built on Drupal.
