Ning, the social networking startup co-founded by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen, gives individuals and companies the ability to build their own social networks using the company's hosted platform.

Funded to the tune of over $100m on a half a billion valuation, Ning has been the subject of a considerable amount of hype.

Social network platform Ning has raised $44m (£22m) in a Series C round of funding, one of the largest social network funding rounds so far.

The Ning platform allows users to design, mashup and build web apps, including social networks. Some 73,650 social networks have been created on Ning's platform since it was launched in October 2004.
