BuddyPress Upgrade Brings Social Features To All Wordpress Sites

WordPress has released version 1.2 of BuddyPress, which was originally developed to add social media features to sites based on WordPress MU (multiuser). We previously covered BuddyPress back in November of 2007 and had tried to implement the service unsuccessfully on this site.

Although a stable release of BuddyPress was released in 2009, it was still available only for the multi user WordPress MU based sites. The new release now allows BuddyPress to be installed on standard WordPress installations.
