BuddyPress is that type of site and to acknowledge it even more, every user has a profile that can be edited and can allow users to fill in their details. Such details may include describing themselves, their likes, hobbies, job, and so forth. BuddyPress also has a full RSS feeds, not to mention an email notification support so it is easy to stay up to date with what others are doing.

Nowadays many teenagers and even adults are spending a considerable amount of their time on social sites meeting new people, interacting and so forth. With BuddyPress, users can go ahead and be able to track the activities of their friends or family and even filter the users that they care about most.

This is not to say that one can only talk to one person at a time, but rather, one can even send messages to more than one recipient. Group users can also comment on other and write their own blog posts. These blog posts or articles are grouped into your own personal blog that you can give the address to people on.

As the crew at Auttomatic have recently bought BuddyPress and brought it in house it has become better and better and now even bigger things are expected with the new integration of Wordpress and WPMU in version 3.0 which is just weeks away from being released.
