WordPress 3.0 is finally here, according to the official WP Blog.
We’ve already updated this site, and others we manage, and the official D2 opinion is
awesome.
Our favorite technical spec change has got to be the merger of WordPress Mu (“multi-user”) and regular WordPress. This means BuddyPress will run on a regular WordPress install.
D2 is officially predicting the world of specialized social networks to finally take off sometime in late 2011, and be ubiquitous by 2013… mostly thanks to BuddyPress (although some major corporation will likely step in, and we’re not ruling out a takeover of Elgg or a revival of Ning).
