BuddyPress

April 1st, 2008 by Justin Ball

There's real information on the BuddyPress site today. I am so excited. This is one of the first steps towards easy to create, distributed social networks. Hopefully it is as easy to extend as Wordpress.

    This looks really cool. How would one go about interfacing this with RoR?

    Hi Dean,
    It could be used alongside a ROR site. If you wanted to integrate this with a BuddyPress I would start with a loose coupling done through REST APIs. If a tighter, higher performance solution was required the two systems could talk to each others databases.
