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

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?

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

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?

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.

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 😉

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.

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.

You can use the IMG tag in order to get images into your posts if you have the source URL, but if you want to upload an image to be part of the post, you’ll need to head to your admin section and use the regular post interface. Simply use the media tools like a non-P2 blog.

Mmmm, the theme is good, but it’s so unfinished. If you only allow logged in users to post and they go to their profile… AAAH! it’s back to the old wordpress admin look! Holy smelly fish, this is ugly, I mean, why have you not themed the backend as well????
THIS is the feature that still makes twitter great and this woprdpress theme sucky. C’mon on guys finish the job, make a ‘total experience’ not a half cut job! I now have to use another plugin to theme the backend and login AAAHH …

Hey I love this one! I was trying to think of how to make it work in tandem with a partner site. One would be for promoting community engagement, and the other would be content support. With custom menus, you can bop back and forth (does P2 have custom menus yet?). What about the sites searching eachother? I put Meebo on my site, but I’d rather use P2.

P2 doesn’t have navigation menus, but you can add a custom menu to your sidebar using the custom menu widget and populate it with your content of choice. Searching both sites would require self-hosted blogs with some integration work.
