I recently started a site on Ning and was surprised that the main page wasn’t nearly as flexible as profile pages for which there are all manner of third-party “profile apps”. That’s all about to change, though,  as Ning rolls out beta testing for main page apps.

Ning Apps is similar to Profile Apps in that they both use OpenSocial APIs to get data about members of a social network, but Ning Apps contain additional views to show functionality at the main page of a social network, along with additional canvas and profile page views.

This will surely be of interest to third-party developers keen on reaching users in over a million social networks on Ning.
