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.

Have you heard of Blackle.com? If you have then you would know about the whole power saving because the screen is black scheme. Well it is partly true and partly untrue.
If you were old fashioned or just could not afford an LCD screen then yes, you will save about 5% - 20% of the power your computer is currently drawing. However, if you are using an LCD monitor or have a laptop, you are probably not saving anything. This is because a LCD screen still uses electricity to create the black colours on the screen. So if you have a CRT monitor you can save electricity by using Blackle but in all fairness you would save more energy using an LCD monitor than using a CRT monitor with Blackle as your default search engine.

Those of you who use Facebook would have experienced the “spam” effect of the applications! Facebook have finally started brining in solutions to protect the millions of active users they have. A few weeks ago they launched the ‘Clear All’ feature which allows you to clear all pending requests, and now you have the ability to block an application sending you any invited in the future!
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!

It is pretty guaranteed that if you use the internet, you receive spam of some sort.
I receive plenty of spam; on my e30 forum which now receives the occasional spam bot trying to sell cellphones that are fake, on my email - through all 6 accounts and now the newest thing for me is spam on my blogs. Every blog receives 5 or 6 spam comments a day! Yes a day! So with 3 blogs running pretty well I am getting a minimum of 15 spam comments a day, 105 a week and a whopping 420 per month.
