Can the blogging platform
WordPress be the basis for a global social network? This is quite possible if the original
DiSo project is
developed , which means “distributed social networking”. The project was created to incorporate all possible microformats, open software interfaces, open source software and technologies that should form the basis of a single standard engine for a worldwide distributed social network.
The very idea of ​​DiSo is very similar to the
concept of GGG , which was formulated by Tim Berners-Lee. We are talking about the formation of a "global graph", that is, a universal standardized social network on the Internet.
The first “brick” in the DiSo project is the WordPress engine. It is well suited for this purpose, because it has the functionality necessary for a social network: blogging, blogroll, and integrated support for OpenID.
