Andreessen adds some Ning to the Web

CNET News.com: "Ning, a new Web site from Netscape founder Marc Andreessen's latest company, has piqued the curiosity of Web developers and bloggers checking out the online social-networking service.
Andreessen's Palo Alto, Calif.-based start-up 24 Hour Laundry, which has about 14 employees, earlier this week launched Ning, describing it a free online service for building 'social applications.'
Company executives refer to Ning as a 'playground' for creating content, such as photos and reviews, and sharing that information to connect with other people. The Ning site hosts these 'social applications' and gives Web developers tools to build programs, either from scratch or by cloning existing services. "
