Teens, Kindness and Cruelty on Social Network Sites
Pew Report : These findings and others about teens' behavior and experiences on social network sites are based on seven focus groups with teens and a nationally representative survey of youth ages 12-17 and their parents.
As social media use has become pervasive in the lives of American teens, a new study finds that 69% of the teenagers who use social networking sites say their peers are mostly kind to one another on such sites. Still, 88% of these teens say they have witnessed people being mean and cruel to another person on the sites, and 15% report that they have been the target of mean or cruel behavior on social network sites.

Diaspora aims to be a distributed network, where totally separate computers connect to each other directly, will let us connect without surrendering our privacy. We call these computers ‘seeds’. A seed is owned by you, hosted by you, or on a rented server. Once it has been set up, the seed will aggregate all of your information: your facebook profile, tweets, anything. We are designing an easily extendable plugin framework for Diaspora, so that whenever newfangled content gets invented, it will be automagically integrated into every seed.

Spreadsheeted Comparison of Ning Alternatives
"Grou.ps hands down wins this battle and is a serious contender that could rival Ning even if Ning kept it's free accounts.
Spruz and SocialGo are good alternatives for small groups that do not need to share files. For discussion Spruz and SocialGo are probably the best alternatives in this group.
Mixxt was also a good alternative but the administrative interface is not as nice as Grou.ps nor were their templates very visually appealing."
