A WordPress MU Social Network Platform

September 7, 2007 · 13 Comments

When I wrote about turning WordPress MU into a social networking platform a little while back I never could have imagined the amount of interest it would generate.

I’ve heard from a lot of people. Some who are looking to build a new site, some running a site on old software, and others looking for extended WordPress MU functionality. It seems that people liked what they saw with ChickSpeak, and wondered if I would be offering the solution to the public.

BuddyPress is my offering, and although it is not close completion just yet, I wanted to let people into the development process with a dedicated blog.

Head on over and let me know your thoughts.

    That’s great! I’ve done something similar (albeit not as sophisticated with WP/bbpress and the multiply plugin for the standard WP branch. Will be following this project closely…

    Hello

    Just quickly looked at your notes about moving and changing platforms.

    You do know that BuddyPress seems to be down?

    I am sure it will be resolved and hope for good news on this.

    Best wishes.

    Hi there,

    I’m very interested in your project. I’d help with the coding, but unfortunately, I’m not very keen in this area. I’m a community builder so if you need any help in this area, just let me know.

    Are others helping you complete this project?

    Thanks for everything you are doing!

    [...] remember talking to Andy for the first time in early 2008. He had blogged about taking the work he did for the ChickSpeak project and releasing it as open source, but found he didn’t have a lot of time to work on it. So we called him up to ask if he [...]
