Today I had the privilege of meeting Andy Peatling, developer of BuddyPress, a social networking solution built upon WordPressMU. It was a very good meeting and I would like to say thanks to Andy for making some time before flying back home.
We were meeting to discuss OpenDD, the social mesh and other thoughts that are emerging as important in the social networking space. There are only so many times that users on the web will be willing to sign up to a new service, fill in a profile, friend people on that service and then invite in their existing network. As more services, products and applications become social, this presents a problem. We see OpenDD playing a part in helping with distributed networks, however, in order for it to really happen, it has to be a community endeavour. It was great to talk this over with Andy and get his initial feedback. Looking forward to continuing the discussion, and experimentation.
On a slightly different note, today, I had the worst pizza imaginable. Those who know me will understand I eat pizza all the time (you can probably tell from the photo on this post). However, I should have realised that even my love of pizza could not stretch to this:
