WPMU as a Social Networking CMS - BlackHatCrew

poto · 03-09-2008, 10:14 AM

those of you thinking about building niche social networking sites have a new free CMS you can use with some nifty plugins for WPMU...

Quote:

BuddyPress is a suite of plugins that will completely transform a vanilla installation of Wordpress MU into a fully functional social network platform.

-- Added Jan 29 --

WordPress MU(Multiuser) is the multi-user version of WordPress, the popular blog/cms tool. BuddyPress takes this one step further by making a social network out of it, providing messaging and other tools with the blog already in place, making each person's blog a member page.

-- Added Mar 5 --

The extended profile component is by far the most feature complete so far. The code style, file structure and design of the plugin represents the approach that will be carried forward into other components shortly.

You should note that it's not even close to being ready for "live use". Hopefully now that he has released the source code someone (else) will step up to the plate and clean it up.
