Woo Themes They work great, well-built, and excellent support. Could be a great way to implement fast -- arm the WP Ninja with a great readymade Woo theme to accelerate the process. http://www.woothemes.com/themes/

BuddyPress A social networking plug-in for WordPress. Could be an interesting solution for PEOPLE & maybe Digg-style voting up or down plug-in for WordPress. http://buddypress.org/ Christine: The problem that I see -- to be verified -- is that it requires folks to create a new profile and blog, rather than linking existing blogs. Sort of the same problem as Ning.

Add to Any http://www.addtoany.com/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-to-any/ WordPress sharing buttons plugin that helps visitors share and bookmark your posts and pages. Feel free to email the lead developer of AddToAny (and the WP plugin) for questions or help: pat at addtoany.


FeedWordPress Christine: Not the whole solution. And there is the issue of Google dinging folks for duplicate content. Hmmmmm... http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/

Lifestream-style approach Folks can decide what gets aggregated about them http://prefontaine.storytlr.com/ http://storytlr.com/
