To be fair with Ning company , they did give its user warning tellling that they are going to charge ( but the option they give to users are all costing money
I remember wikispaces , one of my favourite wiki , does have paid services too , but it does also allow people to use wikispaces for free ,especially for those of educator who were just using wikispaces for its own classroom or personall use however , how those Web2.0 company or education2.0 services ( if they are nodepending on funding or donation ) how can they survive? Gene , and other educators what is your thoughts on this issue ? Can we really trust them and putting our resources or lessons plans on them . There are many things about wikieducator , but one of good things is FREE to use 2010/10/10, gene loeb <[email protected]>: > Randy, > Isn't ning the blog company that suddenly decided to charge everyone and > came up with new servess and dumped its customers,m many of them in > education?
