  1. … and there was light !

    1. cool

  2. Looks really fantastic Michael. Well done. Looking forward to finding a use for this one!

  3. Wow, simply lovable!

  4. That is insanely clever – basically allowing you to turn WordPress into something like Twitter (with better features).

    You guys are awesome.

  5. And a pseudo british narrator – brilliant!

  6. reminds me of a wordpress based twitter! cool.

  7. Poor Twitter, once the hype runs out it’s going to be lights out.

    it’s really cool! i love it! you can communicate with other people just like with an instant messenger, wait, i use icq for this..i think i will use the blog as a blog and not an instant messenger, sorry folks

    1. So you don’t have a use for it. Don’t use it. A creative individual might find dozens of uses for it, so is there any particular reason to be a prick about it?

  10. This sounds very easy and interesting, will try…

  11. Awesome them and concept 🙂
    Does that mean tittering has come WordPress?

    Looks cool and just what the doc ordered.

  12. Awesome! It’s a great idea to compete Twitter.

    This would be cool as more of a plugin for a current blog; mix together micro posts and full length posts to your current blog… that would be rad.

  14. Very cool. This would be great for quick collaboration among team members working on the same project.

  15. Hm. It doesn’t really look like a blog anymore, just some sort of forum.

    1. Blogs are evolving. 🙂

      1. To a bunch of useless posts?

        Useless: Just like Twitter 😉 This would be a great internal communication tool, where Twitter-style IMs & logging them for collaboration would make more sense.

  16. Great theme.

    Though I notice on a single post page, the navigation to the next older posts actually states “Newer post” (and vice-versa). This should be switched around, no?

    1. Sure, this was fixed in yesterday’s release.

  17. WordPress/Facebook/Twitter have just had a child.

  18. kinda interesting, but its just a twitter clone with a few more features…

  19. agree with renderedchild, I’d like this in a side bar or mixed with a normal type blog.

    agree, bright one!!
    you wrote a whole new chapter for blogging!

  21. It would be nice if P2 blogs could interact to create a Twitter-like community

  22. It goes awesomely with WordPress Mu/BuddyPress, just create a feedback blog and within 5 minutes you are done

    just when I thought I was understanding how to start a blog, it turns into twitter? disappointed…too in the moment – need the luxury to read “articles” and well-thought out paragraphs, not just percolations…

    awsome

  25. Reeeeeally want to try it! Specially the thought of starting to integrate the 1,000 windows we now use, I know it’s not there yet, but I am sure soon it will be. thanks!

  26. This is a very very exciting function!

  27. Kickass. Its like a forum, mixed with a non-account-based twitter type of thing. I would probably create a new page in my blog and use it there; i wouldn’t use this theme for my whole blog. But it looks fantastic.

  28. is kinda cool!!

    but.. isn’t it almost the same IRC achieved a decade before?
    oh yes.. I forgot to mention youtube ..

    but on IRC they used images, colors, emoticons, sounds, animations, connections and plenty of more.. almost a matrix application…

    I think we are rediscovering the wheel 😀
    nevertheless… I think it is a good start for a new change 😉

    Lemme get this straight: You produced a video to promote a game changing feature for WP blogs… and forgot to post a link to where we can get that feature?

    Idea: A
    Video: A
    Link: F

    1. Like all of our themes, P2 is available at the WordPress Free Themes Directory.

  38. SO NICE…

    nice 😀

  42. I’ve been looking for a simple Q&A forum without the hassles on WP. Looks like I’ve found it.

    The comments have so many great ideas for its use – perhaps I’ll use it as a page for clients like a private membership site too.

    Thanks for making P2 free.

    cool

  46. This is really great, though there’s no need for people to see it as a twitter competitor, there’s enough space online for personalised as well global, P2 opens the door for many other uses for wordpress, just like some of the other alternative use themes which have been coming out in the last year or 2.

    I’ve even being toying with the idea of making a task management/light project management theme for WordPress.

  47. How can I post a picture or a link?

  48. … and there was light !

    interesting, when i rty and embed the video into my post (like shown in the video) – it just shows up as text.

  50. Amazing theme!
    That’s really more like my style!
    Just so cool!
    Great job!

    1. Really, great job.
