SocialSeychelles.ning.com hosting debacle

---

An email from my meditation buddy alerts to me a major issue for socialseychelles.ning.com as Ning, the company that hosts my site (and about a million others) has decided to pull its free networks and charge instead. As I don’t work nor earn any money from Social Seychelles, this is news I could do without. Unbelievably, the same day I find this out, Social Seychelles goes down and tweets from Twitter suggest that I’m not alone; even the Ning creators network is affected. Rumours abound; have they pulled the rug from underneath already? I sit glued to the internet and start to examine other social network alternatives but the honest truth is I don’t really want to change from Ning with the hassle involved but neither do I want to be out of pocket and on principle I want to tell Ning to get off my land. I’m torn. Pigs in space.

Socialseychelles does eventually come back, not that I’m sure anyone noticed it had ever gone…
