Hey Matt, you don’t find IM better than using P2? Or in your case P2 replaced IM…? But IM is so much faster than P2 when having real time conversation. So how would you use P2 on a daily basis when working with your staff? Maybe another blog post, more detailed, on how you actually use it is in order?

I notice the thread stopped in 2010. Has something else replaced P2?

Thanks,

This is a real game changer
* Posts are editable (twitter: not)
* Replies are tied to posts (twitter as well)
* Replies are threaded and can be viewed as such (twitter: not)
* No forced character limit
* All the goodies of wordpress (shortcodes, markup etc.)
* All the other wordpress-related goodies (statpress-, and redirect-plugin. wp-permalinks, rss feeds per author/blog comments)
* Friggin awesome!

This is the best of both worlds, I can’t put into words what this enables. It’s kinda like Google Apps (as in ‘your own gmail’) but for Twitter!

Don’t forget there is tagging. And there is/could be categorization. This will make the step needed for branching further away since you can simply filter out unwanted stuff by searching for tags (ie. keep a browser window with two tabs: inter.nal/tag/music-dept and inter.nal/tag/video-dept. Perhaps one with inter.nal/author/cuteintern as well

Although a better solution would imho not be a follower plugin for this but a way to:
* Search/intersect tags (ie. all with tag A and B)
** blog/tag/foo/bar
* Advanced search (ie. all with tag A or B or author X). Then you can simply bookmark the permalink to the search page.
** blog/search?tag[]=foo&tag[]=bar&author[]=X

I managed this using

1. SimpleModal Login
2. Peter’s Login Redirect

Added Log In to the sidebar

Then look in the settings of Peter’s Login to send users where they need to go

Love the theme, congrats on inspired innovation. I am wondering if there is a plugin that would allow voting up of conversations?

Thanks again Matt!

No but I’m sure there’s a plugin that can change where people go after they login, perhaps someone here could share.

At 0:24, the video mentions that there is no need to write a post in the editor–because the person posting can do so in the box at the top of the home page. I am currently using the P2 theme, and when users log in, the first thing they see is the Dashboard page. Is there any way that I can enable them to bypass this page so that they can log in and be taken straight to the home page? My concern is that the Dashboard page will confuse visitors, who may not be familiar with WordPress so might not understand how that page works. It would be so great if there wer a way to streamline things so that the person logs in, and … BAM! They are on the home page ready to post. Is that possible with the current version of the P2 software?

Whats about more Option in the near future for upcoming Versions of the P2 like:

-Set Date for Post Publishing on the Frontpage.
-Chose Categorie on the Frontpage.
-More Options in the Theme Options Page, for what you want and what not?
-Highlighted Autor Comments, like you do it her.
-Maybe some examples for child themes to help beginners to start with it.

[...] It’s worth making a mention of the P2 WordPress theme. It’s kind of a Twitter + forum blend. On WordPress.com you can use it along with the IM support for posts and comments, that adds a realtime element to a blog. At Automattic we have numerous internal private blogs that are powered by P2, I use the IM feature to get instant notification when a new post or comment is added. Matt has a great post on the impact P2 has had at Automattic. [...]
