NING VS. BIG TENT: THE SHOWDOWN

So there really isn't any showdown. But Ning does have a challenger in the ring of individual networks and groups. This is Big Tent. This social network creating site is fairly new. When you start a group, you have to be approved and not everyone is approved right now.


One thing about this group is the userability. It is easy to use for those people, such as grandpa and grandma, who are not as tech savy as the rest of us.


Don't get me wrong, I luv my Ning. I love Ning so much, I am a member of about 15-20 groups on Ning. But there are some people I would love to network with, chat with, and exchange photos with who just are not internet people. I think Big Tent is the solution to non-techies in a techie workd.

What Is This Blog Really About?


We moved to Iowa in August and if you have ever been to Iowa, you know that fun stuff is few and far between. Especially once the cold weather hit. But thank god for the Internet. I needed to find something to keep me busy and some way to get some adult interaction (i have 4 kids so i usually am talking about poopy, potty, sickies, pukie).

I would surf the Internet and it would take me forever to find cool stuff. So then I stumbled onto a blog...read it...and was hooked. This blog is actually my first blog.

This blog is all about family computing on the Internet. I am cooking up a series all about computers, families, and the Internet. It will start next week (so you know you want to come back for that). There is a Gamer Thursday I do. This is 2-3 little video games you and your family can play...some for little kids and some for the older kids (yea...my hubby plays the games too). It is all the cool things that you find on the Internet and wish you could find them all in one place. I simply post about neat stuff for kids, adults, and families. This blog is, for the most part, a family friendly blog.
I do hope you come back. I have some exciting plans for not only this blog, but for all my blogs. You will not be disappointed. And while you are here, why not enter my monthly drawing. Who doesn't love free stuff and prizes? No one I tell you...no one!
