Buddy Press Turns Wordpress Into Social Network

Started by Nick O'Neill · 10 months ago

I have been working on a way to integrate social networking into the Social Times website. I have looked at a lot of options one of which was enabling users to create wordpress accounts and leverage the blogging platform to enable users to interact with each other. Soon after my exploration began a ... Continue reading »

    That's my problem my web host will not allow me to install worpress mu on a shared host account (unless I want to upgrade to VPS or dedicated), but we are a non-profit org that can not affort $100/mo with few then 100 users if any that will like to take advantage of worpress(mu) and buddypress combined. Q? Can worpress (the regular I guess) works with buddy press? If not any suggestion beside community builder...too clutter and interface not appealing at all.

    Yeah, but most chances have been changes in the layout.

    Nick, unless I'm misunderstanding BuddyPress (each BuddyPress/WordPress MU community is isolated and requires a new user profile, correct?) I imagine you're betting on something like BackType (or the handful of other apps which handle decentralized commenting) over BuddyPress. Or perhaps one of the comment infrastructure plugins, or even FB Connect(?). Afterall, this really is just about aggregating comments, rather than a must-have new profile; I think most blog commentators would be happier linking straight to their own site than a BuddyPress profile which only then leads on to their site.

    Wow. I just checked out the official site (http://buddypress.org/), and it looks really interesting. I agree with Neil; I think most people would rather comment using openid and link back to their own blogs than interact solely within one blog. So I hope that BuddyPress allows you to sign up with one screen name that you could use universally, so that when you're friends with someone on one blog, you're also friends on every other blog. And you're activity from every blog (both comments and BuddyPress activity) appears on your own profile page. Having to register on each individual blogger's site would be too confusing/overwhelming.

    Its good having such variations for social interactions.. but why you have restricted the user’s comment to particular or related communities..?? Why people can’t post generally..?? And how you have locally categorized these groups or communities..??

    BuddyDress it’s a word game among “press” and “dress”, because our intent is to create some cool dresses (themes) for BuddyPress: one of the most exciting things recently happened to the blog’s world. Our Facebuddy Theme gives a facebook looking style to Buddy Press and buddypressers seem to love it: 750 views and 70 downloads in the first day, and the website is not listed in google yet!
