Have many android app ideas already that I would like to build - still have other (less exciting) stuff to finish off first though..

Ning's cool

If you want to prototype a social network such as http://siliconcape.com or http://big-5.co.za, Ning's your friend. It would have taken me a year to construct a social platform with a lesser feature set. But Ning is not open source. Whilst they told me that I would be able to migrate my data off Ning if I wanted to, the biggest problem I see is that I cannot improve it. Sure, one could try opensocial.org since Ning is a compliant container, but some things have to be fixed on the backend side and hacking the UI just doesn't suffice. I believe in open source and think Ning should too. =HC
