WordPress as…whatever you want!

I’ve been tracking BuddyPress for a couple of months now – I came across a post on Mashable today that was called “The 7 Weirdest and Wackiest Uses for WordPress“. I really liked a few of them and a couple were just…wierd.
I’m not saying WordPress is a one-man-band, but it certainly seems to be shaping up to be more than JUST a blog tool.
I have already spoke about BuddyPress, the social plugins for WordPress. But they mentioned an email newsletter plugin. That looks cool – the biggest issue for that is a corporate policy at my employer regarding the use of a single system they have. The big “feature” with WordPress seems to be the idea that you setup a category “newsletter – then things can be sent automatically…very cool.
Funny – they have one as the wordplace chat room – by using a theme called Prologue…I just had a discussion the other day with my co-worker why Yammer is silly and Twitter is a better option. After review – Yammer is OK…I just have issue with them winning the TechCrunch prize by slightly modifiying a current companies plan.
My big plus for using WordPress as a platform – it just cuts down the clutter of applications, if it can truly handle the job.
So take a peek at the others and let me know if there are any Mashable missed.
