Buddypress BuddyPress is based on the popular Open Source blog engine WordPressMU, and is itself a collection of plugins and themes that allow the system developer to create a Social Network environment around an installation (on either the LAMP or WAMP platforms) with relatively little technical knowledge.
Although not as elaborate as Facebook, Bebo or MySpace, BuddyPress is ideally suited for small-scale networks around niche ideas/interests. It both inherits and extends upon the integral functional elements of the WordPress engine including themes, plugins and widgets.
