   Hi!
   We´re developing a plugin to make wordpress more “social”.

   Sorry, the comment went incomplete.

   I was saying, we´re working in a plugin to socialize WordPress: Nicer profiles, favorites, last comments, friends, and plenty other interesting stuff.

   Would you like to sing up for a beta?

   If anybody else would, please leave a comment here.

   J.P. I’d be interested – drop me a line at tadd (AT) studeio646 . com and I’d be very interested!

   And I think WordPress has made MASSIVE leaps and bounds, especially toward being the all-in-one package. Honestly I’ll start using WP for any and all projects I am involved in.

   Love the WP.

   I couldn’t agree more with this article. I’ve been thinking about writing an article like this on my own for quite some time now.

   I hate being Mr. Negative, but doesn’t LiveJournal fulfill the “LiveJournal as Social Network” gap? I guess I just don’t see how WordPress would capture a mainstream audience.

   I think it’s called Drupal.

   At present, WordPress is still too tech for most people, i.e. the average joe has no interest in setting up a blog, and for that reason social networking will not be surpassed by the technical community. Facebook / Bebo etc are build for the masses. Until WordPress bridges that gap with ease, it will be very much limited to a technical audience. Sites like Mybloglog atm are bridging that Gap, so maybe there is mileage in it.

    I’d love to get my hands on the Beta (this is just the kind of thing I’ve been after for my own site).

    I run several WP Blogs include MU. Any Social Tool would just do wonders for a lot of us. I almost see that it will move WP into a new genre… which they haven’t fully played in, natively.

    Awesome Idea!!!
