BuddyPress.org

I’m with Andy when he says, “Social networking in a box. An easy way to start your own niche social network.”

I remember him essentially saying this when BuddyPress was first added to WordPress and it’s why I came to use BuddyPress myself. Glad to see the vision has stayed the same.

What I do think we need to be careful of is how we define social network. Certainly we can use what’s been learned from Facebook and the like, but the open framework and API should allow for creativity beyond the Facebook definition of social network.
