It costs some money to set up, but I think it would pay off better than Ning. With Ning, you must pay $20 per month for the ability to place your own advertising on your network to make money. That sort of sucks because you may not even make $20 worth of advertising for a brand new network.

It's also possible to change the design and branding. You know, it may be better advice to tell student newspapers to use Social Engine to create their networks.
