PALO ALTO, Calif. – Oct.  2010 – Almost every brand, person and organization has built, or is building, a web presence.

Today, Ning, the world’s largest platform for creating custom social websites makes that easier with the launch of Ning Everywhere. Ning’s API (Application Programming Interface) offers unparalleled control and flexibility for Network Creators and third party developers to integrate and innovate.

Now, every Ning Network can be a digital hub, integrating with leading cloud and social services like Twitter, Facebook, and Seesmic, accessible from every device, and extensible for those wanting to build custom applications.

Ning makes it easy to create highly customizable and powerful social website for musicians, fans, brands, political organizers, non-profit organizations, and more.
