We have a built an application with similar objectives. Soon we will be adding real-time communication capabilities as well. As you have noted, OpenID and OpenAuth will be th facilitating technologies.

Also as Moshe Maeir notes in the trackbacked post, traditional social network and our application will complement each other. In our view traditional SNs are like public social gathering places like bar and we view our application to be like one’s living room. Both have their roles in one’s social life.

Back to blogging? yes!

Person-centric? Hell YES!

WordPress? Nope.

What if I want to stay with Blogger or Live Journal? Same problem as with Facebook/MySpace/LinkedIn/etc… you still have to join something[WordPress] to “network”, you have to choose one product/service over another. That is NOT how we network in real life! In RL we network in various ways/medias that overlap and that seems to work on-line also… blogs, email, chat, groups, skype, etc.

You guys need to get out of the valley and go to other parts of America and the world and talk to REGULAR users. Most people when they use word press for the first time find it difficult and cumbersome , unless they are in the tech industry. It’s a great idea and a nice article, but a little dose of reality and practicality never hurt anyone.

More bad press for Facebook from India site reporting about Head hunter tactics. According to the report, potential recruiters would be checking out your profile (social networking) to make the career relevant decision.

I think Gravatar now being a part of WP also swings the decision in favor of WP.

OpenId is great idea to move close to Semantic Web World. And if WordPress can integrate it into their solution, i think it will start a wave to support it and eventually, Facebook types of business will come around and dance together.

Hello,

I just want to address something Valdis said: “you still have to join something[WordPress] to ‘network’”. The DiSo Project is working on WordPress plugins that could be installed anywhere - be it a hosted service like wordpress.com or your own server. Yes, it means knowing how to run a blog, or know someone who does.

WordPress is a starting point (not the end goal) for us because it’s easy for a moderately technical user to manage, it’s open-source, and it isn’t - life Blogger - limited to a single provider. If you have suggestions or ideas, join the group and participate.

Thanks,

[...] post di Anna Zelenka su GigaOM discute la possibilità che il proprio blog su WordPress (e aggiungerei, [...]

As much as I’d love WordPress to become the next center for social activity, I think it’s a pipe dream. Of my 500+ contacts on Facebook, 10 of them know what WordPress is, and only 1 actually uses it — me.

The reason Facebook is so successful (and Myspace too) over competing services is, quite frankly, how easy they’ve made it for the average person to use. As the technorati, we ooh and aah when Facebook implements Ajax loading for photo albums; most people just think its a cool effect.

There’s a reason so many blogs get created each day — but then die a couple months (if not weeks or days) later. Most people just dont have the persistence to stick with blogging (myself included to an extent). Even as a WordPress evangelist myself (I use it for all my sites, my client sites, and I’m using WordPress MU for a new “social” project), I can’t envision a blogging platform superseding a true social network in usefulness.

I’ve defined with a few friends some project guidelines called Trustlet in september (based on a february concept): a system to allow distributed p2p social networking, platform indipendent.

A good way to make it working should be to distribute it both as a standalone service and as a WordPress integrated plugin. Maybe with OpenID for authentication and some sort of push system to allow real-time messaging (pull is slow, networking needs speed, see Twitter).

Another critical feature is trust, that should be integrated in this protocol. I was looking for integration with OpenSocial… maybe we could just use that protocol. :)

I agree that blogging and social networking are indeed a next step. However wordpress is a bit cumbersome for your average users. There are a ton of people out there that just don’t have an easy way to take advantage of this exciting technology. We have built a platform that allows the owner to have control of blogging and social networking features without having to conform. Blogging, social networking and static content should flow naturally and become as one.

BuddyPress was created for this purpose. This was started a few months back and appears almost complete. I covered this on the Social Times over a month ago:

http://www.socialtimes.com/2007/11/buddy-press-turns-wordpress-into-social-network/

I have often thought “i must search out a blogging application for my Facebook profile…”

How stupid is that!

I love the way that facebook allows you to be connected to each other and follow each others movements, comments and updates but I also love the ability to write my own blog and maintain its appearance too.

MySpace is too messy and Facebook is too restrictive (which can be a good thing). WordPress is a very powerful platform and I think it could turn it’s hand to anything, given the right plugin.

Imagine if you could install a Social Networking plugin to WordPress that links you to other “friends” blogs to see their posts, comments and updates they left at other sites etc. You could even link into Flickr, del.icio.us and other sites too via RSS. Present that all on an extra “page” in your WP installation - done!

We do this as a service for clients in South Africa, and it is precisely this niché market where we fill the gap. WordPress is powerful and perfect for this purpose, but one does need a geek on call to run it full time as a serious publishing media or social network.

Shame on you Chris. This is a very unoriginal ideas. You posted on your blog a while back about a little project called ChickSpeak (http://www.chickspeak.com). In your blog post (http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2007/07/18/wordpressmu-making-a-smart-platform-choice/) you spoke about how this project was one of the first to use WordPress as a social networking platform and encouraged the developer to open-source and share his plugins.

The project is now being developed at http://www.buddypress.com and is open source. Shame on you for stealing Andy’s thunder! Shame on you for not choosing to contribute to this project.

Best way to progess to the Semantic Web - keep those ideas coming and let’s move forward!

As a WordPress user and developer of web sites that use web press as the backend not only for blogging but also for general content management I find this interesting because I am also ready using tools the accomplish to a degree abit not totally integrated with WordPress itself apart from the RSS feeds it generates.

One of the things I will do is run the RSS feed generated and then managed through feedburner.com through a service called Twitterfeed at Twitterfeed.com. Notification of blog post and links will show up in my Twitter account for my followers to see. I also do this with my flickr RSS feed too. It doesn’t stop their. I also pipe my Twitter posts to Facebook via the Facebook Twitter application so even more people who don’t normally follow my blog or twitter feed but are in my circle of friends with get a notification that I have written something on my blog.

I’d love to centrally manage this through my WordPress admin panel but I would also like to extent my own site to have a social networking component.

Jim,

Please back up with the “shaming”…

Andy’s work on BussyPress is awesome, and I’m hoping that we can learn from each other. But BuddyPress is focused (from my reading) on using WordPressMU (the multi-user/multi-site version that is also being used on wordpress.com) to create social networking sites - connecting users hosted within that hosted instance of WPMU+BuddyPress (someone please correct my understanding if I’m wrong).

The DiSo Project is focused around helping WordPress users (or more specifically those running their own instances of WordPress) turn that blog into the focal point of their social network participation. The DiSo plugins are intended to help enable things like social network portability and identity consolidation in a distributed way - so the network grows organically, not dependent on a particular provider.

I hope we can collaborate with Andy to be sure that the work we’re doing on DiSo will be compatible with BuddyPress as much as possible.

Sincerely,

–Steve
http://redmonk.net/ // http://diso-project.org

Looks as though a lot of us are thinking along similar lines here. I’m very interested to see wordpress being used more for social networking, so DiSo sounds promising.

My own development work has also looked to bridge the gap between blogging and social networking, but focused on a group conversation system (using API keys to identify and authenticate members of blogging groups). Someone called it trackback on steroids, but I always wanted a system that could drive readers / traffic properly between blogs, to build identity and loyalty.

Looks like we might all end converging at a very similar point further down the line! :)

Sounds like an interesting comment. I do find my self spending more time reading blogs on Word Press than I spend on MySpace or FaceBook.

What’s the difference between this idea and Livejournal?

[...] Puede ser WordPress la próxima red social? [...]

Should be interesting to see how long any non virtual reality social networks exsist after 5 years.

I think this is a brilliant, inevitable idea but I don’t see it taking off until something like Open Social allows a transition away from the existing social networking sites.

They may realize that by adopting Open Social they will enable competition and might shun it for that reason.

If my profile had restricted layers of detail I’d be more likely to add information to it. It would be nice if I could add my resume in some semantic format which would be accessible by search engines.

My guess is five years before this becomes the standard.

Interesting article. I agree with everything said because WP is getting bigger and more people are starting to finally use it. It will one day take over the world.

Hi, dear all
the wordpress is a nice weblog

I know I have a vested interest in this - but surely we should get past this idea that ‘the next’ ’social network’ will be anywhere in particular. Comments from users here show that people want to use the tools they want to use - not someone else’s choice of the ‘perfeect’ tool. Social networks should exist in widgets what can be embeddd in the users choice of destination.

in2community (www.in2community.com/betaprogram) is a distributed social networking application built on a SaaS platform that is not only easy to install, it’s free.

By embedding one line of code into a dedicated HTML page, both bloggers and webmasters can introduce social networking services directly on their own websites. Publishers who use this service become part of the greater in2apps (www.in2apps.com) network based on a categorical definition of their website, and can immediately have their social communities populated with relevant and localized information from compatible publishers to create a critical mass of like-minded users.

in2community is currently looking for beta trial participants so if you are blogger looking for a social networking solution, this just might be the answer.

I have been a long time user of WordPress - its excellent, and the many plugins are varied and of high quality. However, as a social platform, its sorely lacking. MU has not been revamped in some time, while Movable Type Social (which runs gothamist.com I believe) is quite powerful off the shelf. I like wordpress better overall, but they need to get in the direction of MT Community.

This won’t work because:
A. 99% of people on social networks have no interest in blogging (go look at any average dude’s myspace or facebook page, and wa-la! no blog entries, or at least none since they originally signed up! and most of them feature the word ‘test’)
and
B. WordPress is way too advanced for the casual user, even if you created the most intuitive UI for WP, it will still be too complicated for the regular myspace or facebook user. I have messed around with all the fun php that makes up the guts of WP, and as someone with very advanced web design and developement skills, its still intimidating.

Its a great idea, but if you build it….. you need people to come!

I think the balance of freedom and ease will be the key, but saying the WP is the future social network is a bit shortsighted.

DiSo is built on ideas around OAuth, OpenID, and Microformats like hcard and XFN. If you take the time to understand these, they will fully understand what DiSo will become. OAuth, OpenID, hcard, XOXO, and XFN are all open standards that anyone developer can play with today. Open Social tried to re-create this all with proprietary standards. And where is Open Social toady? The hype from last month is gone. An it seems it is really only open to the big network apps like MySapce, Freindster, Orkut. I don’t see any blog posts about hackers saying “hey, look what I did with open social” because it is not open.

Self-hosted WordPress is the best place to start for this idea. It is open, a lot of people use it. DiSo could become a set of standards that will power other applications all over the web that have nothing to do with blogging or social netowrking. DiSo+WordPress will be a proof of concept using several existing open standards. That’s all. Those that understand the benefits will use it. Those that don’t will come around later. DiSo could be a fork of WordPress. DiSo may or may not become part of Worpdress.com hosted blogs. It is too early to tell.

BuddyPress seems really cool. I cannot wait to play with it. But BuddyPress is kind of like having your own, LiveJournal or install (that means multiple blogs, multiple users, networked together). It can be public or private. It uses WordPressMU. This allow for multiple blogs to run on one server. It is great for communities or even intranets.

DiSo will allow separate self-hosted WordPress installations to talk to each other in new and cool ways. Sort of like how anyone can e-mail anyone else. Email apps can send Email to other e-mail apps. Not just Yahoo mail to Yahoo mail or only Hotmail to Hotmail. They reason email works across email apps is because they all use the same standards. Now expand the idead beyond email, trackbacks, friending, blogrolls, think of and think of all the Facebook applications that are out there. That will be possible with OAuth+OpenID+hcard+XOXO+XFN=DiSo.

[...] The Next Social Network : But those who already use WordPress probably want to build a strong and persistent online presence and identity. Plus they’re the geeky sort, with whom with the idea of a unified, distributed social network might resonate. And at least some of them are refocusing on blogging. The next hot social network might just be built out of blogs. [...]

@daniel: When this is all working well people who don’t blog will sign up thinking it’s a social network. Blogs aren’t some amorphus inevitability, eventually we’ll probably all just have online profiles that include blogs optionally, not the other way around. Imagine if all blog software had admin panels that included profile info like the Facebook/MySpace.

WordPress is popular, open source, and has a good plugin system so it seems like a good place to start.

There is a solution to the open source craze, if you look at places like facebook who use steadily available and readily developed software, and then at places like http://www.contineo.co.uk who used open source based development platforms, you can automatically see which i would prefer! The latter has many more features and is easily customisable to suit visitor needs.

@Kirk: As bad as Myspace is, it already does have a fully functional blog built into any/all profiles. Facebook has about 100 applications that let you build custom blogs inside of their API as well. It doesn’t sound like this would be anything new if you are saying that online profiles will have optional blogs, since they already do.

look, i don’t understand the technology and the differences between open and closed systems, blogging v social networking etc. it’s just ‘people fascinated in people’ to me. and if it means that WP becomes the next big thing and that many 1000’s more people find their way to my incredibly interesting site, then so be it. bring it on
fpb

@daniel: I see your point but there is a huge difference. There is no incentive for MySpace and Facebook to adopt standards. In fact they need proprietary profiles to keep people from migrating to the competition.

It’s about more than features, it’s about open standards. We need openness to address privacy concerns and standards for interoperability.

I must be way ahead of the game with this one considering i took this concept and drove it home a while ago on my social site… http://www.socialchris.com

I actually used to run my blog in this fashion. I moved from blogger, to wordpress, then eventually drupal. I used it as a mashup of various web services like for my flickr pictures, twitter updates, etc. I still kind of use it that way, but have moved much of the stuff to facebook do to their application platform. The problem I noticed with this, is it was too open. There where things I only wanted to share with my friends, but the problem is I don’t want my friends to have to login to their site, mine into theirs, facebook breaks down a lot of these barriers and makes things more organic by allowing many people to build a lot of the applications for it. Now I know there are many open standards coming out, and with things like openID this may eventually be the case, but just because you build it, doesn’t mean they will come.

Blogging - explained in an abstract way - is sequencing and publishing short text messages. Blog postings are published, read and forgotten about quickly. Blog postings are not so person-centric as described here. Publishing about oneself is different from just publishing oneself. Social network pages show profile information and preferences not easily to be learnt from blog postings. I think a personal knowledge management and publishing system using blogs, micro-blogs, and conventional publishing would be a better starting point for a unified social graph or open social network.

I myself developed the Semantic Wiki ‘ArtificialMemory’ (www.artificialmemory.net) to show how realy person-centric application and content could look like.

:-) Lars

Thanks for the heads-up about DiSo. However, I think that this post is rather too WordPress-centric. In terms of coding, the DiSo project starts from some existing GPL’d WordPress plugins. That’s because these plugins provide a useful starting point, rather than because there’s anything WordPress-specific about DiSo.
I made these points in a post on my WordPress.com blog last night, but the ping hasn’t shown up here yet.

May I respectfully suggest you’re reading the wrong blogs?

There are not too many other open source web apps that use microfromats extensively. The WP dev community and the Microformats communities share members, have the same “culture” if you will. And many of the developers and architects know each other personally, so they are more likely to work with friends. If there were another platform that would win due to meritocracy, the developers would already know each other, and that platform might have been chosen. For some reason, the Microformats community prefers XFN over FOAF, and they probably have a good reason. XFN is already built-in to WordPress. The WordPress developer plug-ins has a thing for Microformats. That is just where the momentum happened to go.

I was saying this two years ago, or maybe it was three, but gave up on the “control your content” speech when I realized how high the hurdle is. We already run blogs, we take for granted the steep leaning curve.

Well, didn’t WordPress (Automatic?) just recently buy Gravatar? In a way Myspace is just a big collection of Gravatars. To me it’s not that interesting of an idea, because if I want to trade links with another blogger I can do that without much trouble. And I don’t see the point of trading links with lots of bloggers, which would probably dissolve PR. So I don’t see the need for an automated system like mybloglog.

Everyone with a broadband connection can run their own Content Management System(CMS) on their home computer if the server and CMS is easy to install and operate. For a live demo, check out: http://barracudadrive.net/

Whats really needed is a open protocol for social networking applications.

They will retain complete control over how they wish their data to be accessed and by who. How its implemented is not as important. But for best results it should probably be a combination of a desktop application and online web service. None of this is a trivial engineering task nor is there much of a profit motivation so this is just a wish without much hope of actually happening anytime soon.
