Tonight’s network release is complete! Here’s what you’ll now be seeing on your networks.
New Birthday Field on Signup
As you’ll notice that on the new sign up screen, we’ve added a birthday field. We’ve done this because it’s the quickest way to comply with our Terms of Service and Federal law. A member’s birthday will not display automatically but he or she will have the option to display their age.
Your PIN is now your “Master Key”
The PIN you use to sign in to your network is now your “master key” and you will be able to add letters and characters to make it more secure. The master key is only for Network Creators and Administrators.
More Flexibility with Profile Questions
We’ve removed the requirement to have at least one profile question on your network and updated the default profile questions to be a bit more generic.
If you have questions, please join us in this Network Creators’ discussion.
We’ve also launched a new streamlined version of the “Create Your Own Social Network” process. Check it out at Ning.com!

Six Sentences is the social network for writers, fans and friends of the blog with the same name. Members of the network revel in the opportunity to discuss the six-sentence stories that they read and write. So what can YOU say in six sentences?
The forum discussions are the perfect place to talk about the newly released 6SV1. Network Creator and Six Sentences Editor-in-Chief, Robert McEvily, constantly lends his voice to discussion. His efforts keep the flow of discussions, photos and videos constant.
So take look at some fantastic short stories and think about what you could say in Six Sentences!

SeaKnots is a beautiful network created for the boaters among us who love to sail the seven seas. With an aquamarine ocean background, you can’t help but want to throw on your Captain’s hat and raise the anchor.
When joining this network, members are asked to identify themselves as a Vessel, Sailor or Yacht Club/Marina. This way, your Bruce Roberts 42 can have it’s own profile! And with amazing images of both sailors and boats, there’s a lot of content to dive into.
Don’t feel you have the sea legs to shimmy up the mast to untangle the sail lines? Check out this great instructional video for using the Mast Mate climbing system! You’ll be fixing the rigging in no time. Also, the forum is filled with great info ranging from boat naming to the America’s Cup, which will be great for speaking the lingo at your next boat race!
So if you own a boat, have been on a boat or just you would look good in a sailor’s hat, set your course due West and sail on over to http://seaknots.ning.com/.
