It's been a lot of hard work, so I'm quite excited that we've just released three great new Ning sites: Ning Videos, Ning Photos, and Ning Group.

Plus, all three sites have the juicy bits that every site on the Ning platform gets -- things such as cloneability, complete customization, and built-in REST APIs. I've been watching the feeds for clones of photos and videos -- I suppose seeing who's cloned sites you care about is the Web 2.0 version of ego surfing.

He also talks about some of the features of the Ning Photo cloneable site like the slideshow and, in Ning Video, the embeddable player. The Ning Group application also has parsing abilities to help with sharing documents/music/photos/etc with anyone.

His summary includes mentions of Rasmus' keynote, Andrei's "rasmussed" talk on Unicode, and talks on the Zend Framework, time in PHP, and the panel discussion concerning frameworks in general.

He also attended the "conference party" one evening with a few others hitting some bars following (don't miss the videos of this one). The next day saw Derick Rethans going on with a PHP-related rant and Johannes Schlüter's talk on the reflection API.
