The (last) missing link: following and/or reciprocal friending of (Gravatar) profiles, including their posts and/or comments via “My Subscriptions”…

WP rulez! I like this new feature. For all that, it takes a lot more to become a social network. A better integration of Intense Debate would be a smart step.

I like to think of us as a sociable network. :)

Nice one. And so true. – Still, I’d really like to read a vision statement: Where’s WordPress (Automattic) heading to? Possibly something more precise than “making the web a better place”. ;) Will BuddyPress/MU become some kind of “default” for WordPress.com?

After seeing Ping from Apple, it seems to be at least “en vogue” to head in this direction. And I agree, that WordPress.com has significant potential to be successful in this area.
