I just wish that WordPress would deal with the major Mac OS browser incompatibilities. It is impossible to use WordPress from Safari, and very difficult from Firefox on the Mac. Major bugs need to be fixed...

I'm not having any problems with WordPress on Firefox.
What problems are you having?

Kristen, Interesting that you mention Prologue. There's a big contrast between Automattic's handling of Prologue and of BuddyPress. P was developed in house, then released into the wild. Automattic didn't want to devote a lot of its own resources to it. BuddyPress is getting a bigger commitment of resources, having been brought in via the hire of Andy P, and having been added to the list of ongoing projects.

sorry, forgot the link to the google code downloads for WP users who want to try it out NOW even though buddypress is shut down:
Yesterday, at the Graphing Social Patterns conference, David Glazer of Google OpenSocial and Jim Benedetto of MySpace both spoke about the underlying idea of social graphs -- it all boils down to people interacting and people connecting with each other. As Glazer put it: "It's all about people."
Blogging, of course, is simply one way of folks pushing information about themselves -- and their interests -- out to the world. So the Automattic acquisition makes a ton of sense to me.
However, the whole idea of people being at the core of the next gen. of software -- is incredibly interesting to WhitePages.com. I like to think that we're about real people connecting with each other. The question we have before us, of course, is how to effectively migrate from offline connections (ie. phone number and address) to online connections like Facebook & blogging platforms -- or how to make the two ways of connecting complementary and collaborative, rather than opposed to each other.

Is there actually any details on what this social network will amount to?
I'm happy to guess, but I'd prefer to have something to read...

To Bud Why+Zer I use wordpress in both flavours (.com and .org) and I don't have a problem using it with Safari.
What bugs are you talking about?
To the men at automattic: Best easy product out there. Keep on doing it.

does anyone know some big sites using the prolouge theme as a twitter clone? i´m looking for some references.
In regards to the code, is it ok to download the code and use it to try and build a site ala chickspeak or is it most likely incomplete? I'm assuming the latter since there is ongoing work at buddypress.com. Any info on when this will see a release?
