What are Ning Apps and how do they work?

Ning Apps are customizable features or functionalities that users can add to their Ning social network. These apps allow users to enhance their network's functionality and personalize their site to better suit their needs and interests. Ning Apps can range from simple tools like polls or calendars to more complex features like user badges or advanced analytics. To add a Ning App, users simply need to access the Ning App Directory, browse through the available apps, and select the one they want to add to their network. Once selected, they can customize the app's settings, appearance, and layout to match their network's design. Users can also arrange the app's placement on their site and adjust permissions for members to access or interact with it. Ning Apps provide users with the flexibility to create a unique and tailored social network experience for their community.
