How is NationBuilder different than Ning?

A:

Ning allows you to create an affordable custom social network and can be a great platform for your fans and supporters to hang out and chat. NationBuilder does many of the things that Ning does, plus gives you a highly customizable public website, a social CRM and email and texting features. A key differentiator is that while Ning is a community platform, NationBuilder is designed to help a leader or leaders move volunteers and loosely aligned supporters towards a common goal. Ning is more about hanging out, and NationBuilder is more about action.

Anna, NationBuilder does not have Ning or Facebook-like groups. However, we now support “subnations” which are autonomous groups where basic supporter information is shared with a primary nation.

Any update on group functionality?

We have not built out a full group functionality, however, there is an ability to make sections of your sites available to members only.

Hi,

Does Nation builder have a similar group management system to Ning. Coucl a supporter join and leave public and private groups held within Nation builder?
