What do you think about MU?

WP Multi-User (http://mu.wordpress.org/).

Ever dream of running hundreds of thousands of blogs with a single install of WordPress?

WordPress MU, or multi-user, is designed to do exactly that. It is most famously used for WordPress.com where it serves tens of millions of hits on hundreds of thousands of blogs each day.

Ahhh. I feel like I wanted to run a site like this. I think it's cool. You provide free blogs like wordpress.com

I've seriously thought about running it on one of my sites. I still haven't made up my mind on the matter though.

I always wondered how something like this would be done, thanks for the link!!

Oh wow... I've got the perfect site for this! I've been trying to figure out how to make it happen but pushed it to the background since it seemed pretty difficult to manage.

Thanks a ton for the link!

Yay. Let us know the links, okay? You're welcome. :)

I was tempted by this at one point as well, but how do you stand out? Offering free blogs isn't enough because everyone knows Wordpress.com already do that. You'd need to go a bit above and beyond with the support probably.

Niche blogs, that's how. Find a niche, then create a community around it and corner it.
