BuddyPress, being created under the same company as wordpress, Automatic, is hinting towards a more social networking future with the current message being left on BuddyPress’ website. “BuddyPress will transform a vanilla installation of WordPress MU into a social network platform.”

The current designer recently wrote in his blog,”I’ve been all-consumed in WordPress for the past two years now, (and) I think almost every single site I’ve built since working as a freelancer has used WordPress in some way,” “To get the opportunity to concentrate fully on WordPress every day, and also the chance to help mold WordPress in new ways, is a fantastic one not to be missed.”"

Since the designer has already spent a lot of time working with Wordpress, we can see why he’s the perfect fit. Little training and hopefully stick towards the features of Wordpress we like the best. Who can know what kind of social future that is in store for us?
