WordPress going Social

The guys at Automattic have been working on a plugin for WordPress Mu; a derivative of WordPress that allows you to have multiple blogs controlled and maintained from one central point. This plugin has been dubbed BuddyPress.

From the name you can easily guess what it will do and what it will do is going to change the social arena for good. Many of the features that are being worked on are features that you will find on any of the major Social Networking site such as Facebook or MySpace and so on but obviously as the creator of WordPress, Matthew Mullenweg, seeming tries to do with every bit of code he is involved in is try and make it 100 times better.

Tired of Facebook Spam?

Block Facebook Apps!

It is about time! Don’t get me wrong, I still use the applications on Facebook, I am just tired of the “What underwear do you wear” and “Sell your friend” application invites. This news also comes upon Facebook’s release of new regulations that will govern how applications are run on Facebook!
