Now that Microsoft is going after ad revenue using Facebook, how do we get away from being pestered with ads? Private networks. There are a few ‘white-label’ private networking solutions out there – such as Ning, where you can set up your own community. Whether it is for business or pleasure. It is predicted that the next phase of Web 2.0 will see the increase in the use of these private social networks.

BRASSmedia can set you up with a private network with all of the pizazz of sites such as Facebook and Myspace. As well you get to control the advertising – place your own ads or sell ad space to others.
