I was just formulating my response: I tend to agree that we as Christians don't need or want a Christian social network. In fact, there are so many instances where churches are looking to use social networking for communications, logistics, planning, etc. when that's not at all what social networking is intended for. It's intended to "network". But when you're in a church and are involved in various ministries and groups you don't need to network with these folks, you need take care of the business of being a member. You need to plan, share a calendar, get reminders, have discussions and generally be accessible to each other. Technology and the internet is perfect for that! MemberHub is not about social networking. It's about giving the groups in your church and other organizations a place for them to connect, share information, share ideas, plan, and again, be accessible to each other in a private environment. This takes the burden off the administrators of the organization, by empowering the groups to connect and get things done on their own accord! Thanks Ben. Please contact us if you'd like a demo or I can connect you with another customer. And you to Daniel. Thanks guys! We certainly do appreciate it! I was just formulating my response:

Maybe there's some value to that, but I'm hesitant because I'd much rather my church deeply engage the world on Facebook (or, I suppose, MySpace). What attracts me to MemberHub is that it solves some problems for me in regards to how to organize my small groups and facilitate new members getting connected without creating a huge social network. I haven't pulled the trigger on MemberHub, but I'm checking it out seriously. If we decide to go with it, I'll come back with my thoughts on it.

While I am impressed at the focus on Churches I am curious as to how people's experience has stacked with MemberHub compared to something like Ning?

Compete-At has a mature product out of beta that is comparably priced. I'm a bit confused as to what makes Memberhub so focused on "Churches". What is the functionality that is unique to that market segment? Memberhub – Nice looking application. Compete-At has a mature product out of beta that is comparably priced.
