Hacker News Reader

If I was Matt Mullenweg I would be having a meeting right now to implement Wordpress Lite ASAP.

That, my friends, is the twitter killer. With all the themes, plugins, widgets and all the ecosystem.

At the same time, Google should be updating their Reader with an Instant Update feature for selected feeds.

I know Wave will have some of this, but why wait?

The P2 theme is Wordpress's best answer to Twitter. It's pretty cool: http://ma.tt/2009/05/how-p2-changed-automattic/

Brad Fitzpatrick (LiveJournal founder) is at Google working on PubSubHubbub, which is a distributed push system for RSS. The Google Reader team is already experimenting with it (as a provider currently, not a consumer): http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2009/08/pubsubhubbub-suppor...

P2 is the answer. I know beauty when I see it.

Now, implement collapse/expand comments and new comment notifiers (red bubble/white number) and you have a twitter, friendfeed and facebook killer.

There's also already a WP PubSubHubBub plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-pubsubhubbub/

I think Matt Mullenweg is in the meeting where they're discussing remote Wordpress admin exploits right now.
