I'm not sure what to make of that comment. Can anyone shed some light on why a company would so plainly reject people with an MBA? I suppose it is Silicon Valley; applying rational logic rarely seems to work in that dimension.

If I were to hazard a guess it would be either that they have found that MBAs tend see a Product Management position as a mere stepping stone to a larger position or that they don't want to pay the premium that graduate degree generally entails. I think it is usually dangerous to judge a person by their education but a high profile company like Ning might get so many candidates that limiting the field, even using clumsy rubric such as education, could conceivable be to their advantage. Or perhaps it is just that the hiring manager is insecure and easily threatened. :)
you have BS in Comp Sci. Just leave the MBA part off your resume :-)
