there was a time when having an account on a Ning network allowed one to log in to other networks, and existing friendships would be reflected therein... then they changed it so that one had to sign up to each and every network they wanted to join... not quite sure why... i think they invoked privacy issues... but it was a long time ago and my memory might not be that clear...
