2010-01-29 Update: Thripp.com is no longer maintained and you cannot register for new blogs. Try WordPress.com instead.
Thripp.com is a new WordPress MU-powered social network focused on blogging, with the goal of harnessing technology to work with you—to enable your creativity by empowering your voice, while backing you with a community of supporters so you never have to go it alone. I just launched this on 2008 May 24, so we have a long road ahead. Join if you want to build a community that trusts its citizens.
Right now, the community is mostly me. I read everything posted and am active at my own Thripp.com blog, so you can count on the site progressing.
So far, I’ve implemented basic networking features: comment threading with email alerts, a friends system, subscriptions, and comment tracking, a forum, a blogs directory, collaborative blogging, mirroring to LiveJournal, Facebok photos integration, privacy controls, sitewide latest comments and posts lists, and social bookmarking. I’m planning to adapt BuddyPress to add more stuff, once it’s released.
Read the features page for lots more. But there are no themes. Just the one you see now.
You can register and start blogging, or you can post to the forum and comment on most blogs as a guest.
