BuddyPress vs Momentive Community

BuddyPress is a free, open-source WordPress plugin that adds social networking features to websites. It supports campus networks, company communication tools, niche communities, and product-focused networks. Administrators can disable unneeded features, with the theme adjusting menus, pages, and buttons to match. Extended Profiles provides configurable fields, field groups, avatars, account settings, and visibility choices such as Everyone, Only Me, All Members, and My Friends. Activity streams combine site, member, and group activity with updates, comments, favorites, mentions, and RSS feeds. Members can create public, private, or hidden groups, while group administrators manage membership and invitations. Private messages work between people on a member’s friends list, with inbox and sent folders. Notifications cover activity, messages, friendships, and groups. WordPress.org plugins extend the system, and the BP REST API exposes community data and authenticated actions through JSON endpoints. BuddyPress requires WordPress, PHP 5.2.4 or later, MySQL 5.0 or later, and Apache mod_rewrite.
