Wordpress: How To Make A Social Network in 5 Minutes!

Update 27/12/09: This post is no longer useful. The domain seems to be sold or the content has changed, but you can download the plugin for Wordpress 2.5. See below

What if you could make your site part of a social network with a single click? Without having to create a new account, without having to give private information to a third party, where your site is the only account you’ll ever need and where you could socialize virtually with anyone while you are in complete control of your privacy and your content? Then Minerva is the right Wordpress Plugin for you!

Minerva was designed with a simple goal in mind: to let anyone be a part of a global ad-hoc social network. Basically once your site has Minerva capabilities you are in a social network. Your own social network! Your site becomes your account and your’re free to do whatever you wish. With a single click!

How it works

In a nutshell, once you are logged in, Minerva starts its own session. That session is then passed on to any other site you wish to visit. However, to accomplish this you need to reach that site by a special link that redirects you to it. Behind the scenes, Minerva contacts the destination site and transmits your session to it. This works only with other Minerva enabled sites.

Benefits of Minerva

  1. With Minerva your site is the only account you’ll ever need
  2. Keep your private information to yourself. Minerva helps you protect your privacy
  3. With Minerva you are socially unrestricted
  4. It’s Free and Open Source

Please tell us your experiences with this plugin!
