Yesterday Ning announced "Ning Everywhere" an initiative utilizing Ning's new API, which allows Ning communities to be accessed from partner sites.
Our company, AppMakr, was the "Do It Yourself" way Ning chose for community owners to turn their Ning communities into iPhone apps.
We've integrated the Ning API into AppMakr, and for $24.95/month, a Ning community can quickly be turned into an iPhone app with two-way communication: Members can read information, see pictures, etc., as well as take pictures and upload them to the Ning community, update their status, and write blogs, all from the branded iPhone app. You can read more about the integration here.
Here's the video of the event:

Alson Kemp from the MIT club of Northern California invited me to record their event last night at Kicklabs in SoMa: The State of Mobile Monetization.
(As an interesting aside - the first time I showed up to capture content, the group was understandably weary of a strange guy with a video camera, because as I've said on multiple occasions, the culture does not yet exist for content to be captured. But Alson sent me a great email after the event saying, "Your video from the last event was much appreciated." It's great to see groups embrace the capturing of content!)
I don't have the exact names of speakers (can someone pls add that to the comments below?) but I believe it was reps from Zong, Groupon, Simon-Kucher and Apsalar.

I have a hiring process I've been using for years (you can find a related blog post here) that I'd like to share, as it's very effective.
