NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
BlogTalkRadio today announced it is launching its proprietary application on
Ning, the social platform for interests and passions online. By joining forces
with Ning, the opportunity to host a radio show using the BlogTalkRadio app is
now available to more than 1.5 million Ning Networks and 33 million Ning Network
members.

Ning Network Creators now have even greater choice over the features and
applications they can add to Ning Networks to create the perfect social
experience for a given topic, interest or passion. Today, Ning Apps are
available for e-commerce, information, education, causes and entertainment. To
see the BlogTalkRadio app, please visit the Ning Apps Directory:

The BlogTalkRadio app enables any Ning Network Creator to host their own live,
online radio show and stream the conversation to their members. The
BlogTalkRadio app provides Ning Networks with an easy way to create and share
compelling audio content using only a phone and an Internet connection.

"We developed the BlogTalkRadio app so that Ning users can leverage all the
features and benefits of the BlogTalkRadio platform to create and share
conversations on the topics that matter most to them," said Alan Levy, founder
and CEO of BlogTalkRadio. "From individuals to large corporations, BlogTalkRadio
empowers `citizen journalists` everywhere with the ability to quickly and
directly connect with their audience anytime with engaging, interactive audio
content. We expect this relationship with Ning to help us accelerate the reach
of our platform, and we`re excited to be working with them."

Ning Apps extend the Ning Platform by providing more than 90 new diverse and
rich applications like BlogTalkRadio for Ning Network Creators. With Ning Apps,
a Ning Network Creator can now add the BlogTalkRadio app to expand the
functionality of their Ning Network and increase engagement by their members.

BlogTalkRadio is the largest and fastest growing social radio network that
allows users to create free, live call-in talk shows with unlimited
participants. The shows are automatically archived, syndicated, and shared on
Ning, Facebook, Twitter and iTunes, as well through RSS feeds. The BlogTalkRadio
network has tens of thousands of hosts, who have produced hundreds of thousands
of episodes since it launched in August of 2006.

The Ning Platform provides a new way for BlogTalkRadio to reach more people,
faster. Rather than being added by individual members, when a Ning Network
Creator adds the BlogTalkRadio app to their Ning Network, by default it`s
available to all members automatically, regardless of whether a Ning Network has
100, 1,000 or 1 million members.

"Ning is committed to being the social platform for the world`s interests and
passions," said Jay Parikh, senior vice president of product engineering. "The
BlogTalkRadio application is a great example of the innovative and creative set
of diverse features Ning Apps offer the more than 33 million members of Ning
Networks today."
