ergonomic and very comfortable phone: Xolo Omega 5.0 & 5.5

Since its inception, Xolo has been trying to establish itself as a premium Indian smartphone brand. While it hasn't tried attacking the absolute top-end of flagship devices, it has concentrated on the lower mid-range where most of the action is. Xolo has so far done fairly well, with a number of models that prioritised aspirational features such as gaming performance and a custom Android UI.
Now, in an apparent diversion towards the low end, Xolo has launched a pair of sub-Rs. 10,000 devices under a new line, Xolo Omega. These near-twins, the Xolo Omega 5.0 and the Omega 5.5 still promise some fairly impressive specifications. The two have a lot in common, with the main differences being screen size, camera resolution and battery capacity. We have the smaller of the two, which is priced Rs. 1,000 lower and is closer to the ideal size and weight for most people.
Sound was surprisingly full, with minimal distortion.We had no reason to complain about the device's performance in everyday tasks either. It handled most of our work without complaining. HD videos were slightly problematic, and there were artefacts on screen when playing highly compressed samples.

This has got a new interface named as Hive






Here are some pics taken by xolo omega 5.0 and omega 5.5.

Though camera had a few minor issues, it was good overall. Images came out nicely, with good detailing in close-ups. Objects in the background tended to be less clear. It wasn't the quickest to lock focus, but that's acceptable. We did have trouble at night though, with the camera simply refusing to focus at some points, and capturing anything at others. Images also came out with far too much noise.

This is a budgeted phone with high specs. anyone with budget problem can afford this new high performance phone. this will not disappoint you.
Here are some of the key features of omega 5.5:-

• Dual-SIM Support with 3G, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, USB and GPS
• 5.5”inch Full HD display
• Hive UI is based on Android 4.4 KitKat OS
• Fastest 1.4GHz octa-core MediaTek processor
• Camera 13-MP Rear  with Sony Exmor R Sensor+ 2-MP front
• Powerful 2600mAh battery  with 30.8 Hours Talk Time.

For Omega 5.0 :-

• 2100mAh powerful battery
• 8MP camera with Sony Exmor R sensor and 2MP front facing camera
• 8GB Internal Storage with MicroSD card slot with support upto 32GB cards
• Hive Software on top of Android 4.4 Kitkat Gesture recognition, voice detection and smile detection to click pics
• 1.4GHz True Octa Core Processor with 1GB RAM
• 5 Inch IPS Display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels

14 Regular People Who Became Memes

You never know when your 15 minutes of fame might happen: you could star in a popular YouTube video, model for a frequently seen stock photo, or just happen to get noticed at your after school job. After Twitter user @auscalem posted a candid shot of "Alex from Target" last fall, the image went viral and the unsuspecting, 16-year-old employee became an Internet sensation. Alex's transition to the big time wasn't totally smooth sailing, but half a year later, he's embraced his newfound fame and is currently pursuing an acting career. ("I've been auditioning for movies and TV shows and stuff," he recently told J-14.) He turned out okay and so, for the most part, have the people-turned-memes below.

1. College Freshman

As a first-semester freshman, Griffin Kiritsy agreed to do an interview for Reader’s Digest, complete with a photo shoot on the UNH campus. “No big deal,” he said. “I can pose for a few snapshots.” The images ended up in other, pretty dry articles about freshman life and college finances. Then the Reddit community got their hands on the one that will forever be known as College Freshman, the inept and ill-informed young adult who is almost always killed while attempting new things on campus. In a Reddit chat, Kiritsy admitted that many of the memes mimicked his first year of college, saying “the laundry jokes, the bragging about parties I went to, and all of the dying ones happened to me.” He also reports that being a meme hasn’t had any real negative effects on his life: “I plan on being the College Freshman until ... I die.”

2. Suburban Mom

Carly Phillips is a romance novelist and mother of two kids (and a few pets). In May 2011, her author photo was appropriated for the Sheltering Suburban Mom series … a fact she only learned last year, thanks to a Redditor who posted a link on her Facebook fan page. When someone explained to her that her image was used to make jokes about uptight, hypocritical, and sometimes racist suburban mothers, Philips says her “initial reaction was horror and fury and hurt.” After she was told that the joke wasn’t about her, but about overly protective moms who don’t practice what they preach, Phillips said she felt a bit better about the whole thing. “I never want anyone who sees it to think that I, the real mom/person ... believes any of that stuff, especially the derogatory, inflammatory, prejudiced things in there.”

3. Skeptical Baby

In November 2011, Dave, Rhiannon, and their son Mason took a trip to the Museum of Natural Sciences, where they had some family photos taken by photographer Jarod Knoten. They came out so well that Dave posted one to Reddit. Within hours, Dave’s son Mason was the star of his very own meme. Skeptical Baby just can’t believe the things people with object permanence have to say about anything. The joke usually follows the “You mean to tell me…” format, but there are a few variations.

4. Sheltered College Freshman

Kerin Portillo is a model who lives in Bogota, Colombia. She was featured in a series of iStockphoto images portraying students in a library. A crop of one of these original pictures is the template for Sheltered College Freshman, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
Generally the captions are based on misunderstood slang and sexual innuendo, but occasionally they just reflect the surprise an eighteen-year-old might have at finding out how life actually works. A counter series called Sheltered No More features another shot of Portillo, this time seated at a bar in a red dress, which portray her as SCF’s polar opposite. Portillo participated in a Q and A on Reddit; she said that her Internet fame led to many more modeling opportunities in stock photos.

5. Senior Freshman

Nola Ochs graduated from Fort Hays State University at the age of 95, setting a Guinness World Record and earning herself some coverage on most major media outlets. She went on to earn a masters in Liberal Studies at the age of 98, graduating alongside her own granddaughter. A picture of Ochs in class (captioned “Raises hand / ‘As a mother…’”) appeared on Quickmeme in July 2011. Since then, the world’s oldest college graduate has been Senior Freshman, an elderly woman who’s eager to learn but also intimately familiar with the last couple hundred years of history. (Like College Freshman, she often dies while participating in class.) To date, Ochs—who is now 103—has not commented on her Internet stardom and she is (probably) not on Twitter.

6. Success Kid

Little Sammy Griner wasn’t yet a year old in August 2007 when his mother, photographer Laney Griner, snapped a picture of him on the beach with a handful of sand. She titled it “Why I oughta…” on Flickr, and by January 2008 the picture was making the rounds on MySpace with the caption I Hate Sandcastles. It traveled all the way to a Russian Photoshop thread before finding its way to Advice Animals as Success Kid in January 2011. (For Success Kid, everything goes better than expected.) The image of Sammy is so popular that Virgin Media purchased rights to use it on billboards in the UK, and it later appeared in a commerical for Vitamin Water. Here he is at age 5:

7. Too Damn High

If your rent is too damn high, Jimmy McMillan is your guy. Or he would be, if you were a voting resident of New York in 2010, when McMillan was running for governor. His appearance at the Gubernatorial Debate that year was uploaded to YouTube, and that’s when the web discovered Rent is Too Damn High, the name of McMillan’s political party and meme, based on his oft-repeated catchphrase. Captions almost always follow the “X is too damn high!” format, but variations featuring words which rhyme with “high” tend to be popular, as well—“The end is too damn nigh,” for example.
Since becoming Reddit famous and bolstered by his presidential run (sadly, he did not make it on to any of the state's ballots), McMillan has spent his time singing with Occupy protesters, hanging out on campuses, and being parodied on Saturday Night Live. Sometimes he reminds people that the rent is too damn high. He attempted to run for governor again in New York's 2014 election but did not succeed.

8. Hipster Barista

Dustin Mattson has placed in both regional and national barista competitions. He’s also the face of Hipster Barista, the haughty connoisseur of java and things that are not yet cool. Because it comes at the expense of respect for his career, Mattson isn’t exactly excited about his minor internet celebrity, as he revealed in an interview with Eater.com: “If anyone were to see me and my coworkers' work in the café, they'd see that it doesn't quite match up to most of the jokes made against the ‘Hipster Barista.’”

9. Ridiculously Photogenic Guy

Zeddie Watkins Little is a good-looking guy. But the shot taken during the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run by computer programmer and self-taught photographer Will King, was a “total fluke,” Little says. After the photo took Reddit by storm, Little chatted with readers about his status as Internet celebrity. He admitted that he didn't hate the whole thing: “I have to say, I really enjoy being part of such a good joke.” He also showed up on Good Morning America with Will King to tell the story.

10. Skateboarding Professor

“Walking sucks, so I get there on my wheels.” That’s how Dr. Thomas Winter, a professor at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, explains why the skateboard is his preferred mode of transportation. While he says there’s nothing remarkable about the way he gets around campus, the Internet begs to differ. After Redditor tr0llzor posted a picture of the 68-year-old rolling to class, a meme was born. Winter admits that he finds the image captions’ "contemporary slang" confusing, and is further confused by the idea of memes in general—in an interview with Mashable, the professor thought he was being asked about Richard Dawkins’ genetic memes. He retired from his position in spring 2013.

11. Angry Hipster Girl

It started a couple of years ago with a Halloween costume: “Birkenstocks with wool socks, jean shorts, tie-dye crop top, braided band in my hair and a prescription pair of glasses... It seemed only appropriate to grab a quick and silly shot of my costume before going out to party. The next day I posted it on Facebook and Flickr, and then forgot about it.” Kate Killet’s friend eventually forwarded a link to Quickmeme, asking if the picture was her. It was.
Since being branded Angry Hipster Girl, Kate says she’s been recognized by “lots of friends of friends and randoms I haven't talked to in years,” but hasn’t been approached by strangers about her memedom. Should you find yourself in the same situation, she has a bit of advice: “Enjoy your internet 5 minutes. Don't get mad or offended, the internet loves you. And turn off your Twitter and Facebook notifications, cus you'll get roughly a million.”
(Kate's official internet reveal is thanks to mental_floss reader Jenny Serwylo, who outed her friend in the comments of my earlier post.)

12. Baby Godfather

The image that started the Baby Godfather meme, which is exactly what it sounds like, was taken at a wedding in 2010. Redditor timekeepsgoing posted the picture of his son with a request to Photoshop the intimidating little guy into scenes from The Godfather. Timekeepsgoing keeps a scrapbook of the best images for his son.

13. Friendzone Johnny

Just about everyone has felt the pang of unrequited love, but almost no one has to live through it while the Internet laughs. Johnny Solis is the exception. In January 2012, he showed up at midnight to his friend Lizz’s house with flowers to wish her a happy birthday. She took a picture, posted it to Facebook with the caption “I am so blessed to have such great friends. Thank you sososoo much Jonathon!” Within hours, it was shared on Reddit and Quickmeme. The next day, Johnny identified himself on Reddit and did a Q&A in a bodybuilding forum. Later, he and Lizz changed their Facebook statuses to “married to” each other, but Johnny revealed that this was just a tactic to “get people off [their] backs.”
Though Johnny and Lizz apparently never got together, he seems to be taking the ordeal in stride, saying that becoming a meme makes him happy because “I became famous and more girls are talking to me.”

14. Vancouver Riot Kiss

Canadians are famously well-mannered, but after the Canucks lost to the Bruins in the 2011 Stanley Cup finals, our neighbors to the north took to the streets to wreak havoc. Caught in the mayhem, Alexandra Thomas was knocked to the ground by shield-wielding riot police. Her boyfriend, Scott Jones, swooped in to comfort her; the kiss was caught by a photographer and on video from several angles, most of which included fire and riot police in the frame. The smooching couple were subsequently Photoshopped into scenes of extreme danger or inappropriateness, or in the background of other famous kissing scenes. There doesn't seem to be any information about where, or even if, the couple still kisses today.

10 Mind-Boggling Paradoxes

A paradox is a statement or problem that either appears to produce two entirely contradictory (yet possible) outcomes, or provides proof for something that goes against what we intuitively expect. Paradoxes have been a central part of philosophical thinking for centuries, and are always ready to challenge our interpretation of otherwise simple situations, turning what we might think to be true on its head and presenting us with provably plausible situations that are in fact just as provably impossible. Confused? You should be.

1. ACHILLES AND THE TORTOISE

The Paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise is one of a number of theoretical discussions of movement put forward by the Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea in the 5th century BC. It begins with the great hero Achilles challenging a tortoise to a footrace. To keep things fair, he agrees to give the tortoise a head start of, say, 500m. When the race begins, Achilles unsurprisingly starts running at a speed much faster than the tortoise, so that by the time he has reached the 500m mark, the tortoise has only walked 50m further than him. But by the time Achilles has reached the 550m mark, the tortoise has walked another 5m. And by the time he has reached the 555m mark, the tortoise has walked another 0.5m, then 0.25m, then 0.125m, and so on. This process continues again and again over an infinite series of smaller and smaller distances, with the tortoise always moving forwards while Achilles always plays catch up.
Logically, this seems to prove that Achilles can never overtake the tortoise—whenever he reaches somewhere the tortoise has been, he will always have some distance still left to go no matter how small it might be. Except, of course, we know intuitively that he can overtake the tortoise. The trick here is not to think of Zeno’s Achilles Paradox in terms of distances and races, but rather as an example of how any finite value can always be divided an infinite number of times, no matter how small its divisions might become.

2. THE BOOTSTRAP PARADOX

The Bootstrap Paradox is a paradox of time travel that questions how something that is taken from the future and placed in the past could ever come into being in the first place. It’s a common trope used by science fiction writers and has inspired plotlines in everything from Doctor Who to the Bill and Ted movies, but one of the most memorable and straightforward examples—by Professor David Toomey of the University of Massachusetts and used in his book The New Time Travellers—involves an author and his manuscript.
Imagine that a time traveller buys a copy of Hamlet from a bookstore, travels back in time to Elizabethan London, and hands the book to Shakespeare, who then copies it out and claims it as his own work. Over the centuries that follow, Hamlet is reprinted and reproduced countless times until finally a copy of it ends up back in the same original bookstore, where the time traveller finds it, buys it, and takes it back to Shakespeare. Who, then, wrote Hamlet?

3. THE BOY OR GIRL PARADOX

Imagine that a family has two children, one of whom we know to be a boy. What then is the probability that the other child is a boy? The obvious answer is to say that the probability is 1/2—after all, the other child can only be either a boy or a girl, and the chances of a baby being born a boy or a girl are (essentially) equal. In a two-child family, however, there are actually four possible combinations of children: two boys (MM), two girls (FF), an older boy and a younger girl (MF), and an older girl and a younger boy (FM). We already know that one of the children is a boy, meaning we can eliminate the combination FF, but that leaves us with three equally possible combinations of children in which at least one is a boy—namely MM, MF, and FM. This means that the probability that the other child is a boy—MM—must be 1/3, not 1/2.

4. THE CARD PARADOX

Imagine you’re holding a postcard in your hand, on one side of which is written, “The statement on the other side of this card is true.” We’ll call that Statement A. Turn the card over, and the opposite side reads, “The statement on the other side of this card is false” (Statement B). Trying to assign any truth to either Statement A or B, however, leads to a paradox: if A is true then B must be as well, but for B to be true, A has to be false. Oppositely, if A is false then B must be false too, which must ultimately make A true.
Invented by the British logician Philip Jourdain in the early 1900s, the Card Paradox is a simple variation of what is known as a “liar paradox,” in which assigning truth values to statements that purport to be either true or false produces a contradiction. An even more complicated variation of a liar paradox is the next entry on our list.

5. THE CROCODILE PARADOX

A crocodile snatches a young boy from a riverbank. His mother pleads with the crocodile to return him, to which the crocodile replies that he will only return the boy safely if the mother can guess correctly whether or not he will indeed return the boy. There is no problem if the mother guesses that the crocodile will return him—if she is right, he is returned; if she is wrong, the crocodile keeps him. If she answers that the crocodile will not return him, however, we end up with a paradox: if she is right and the crocodile never intended to return her child, then the crocodile has to return him, but in doing so breaks his word and contradicts the mother’s answer. On the other hand, if she is wrong and the crocodile actually did intend to return the boy, the crocodile must then keep him even though he intended not to, thereby also breaking his word.
The Crocodile Paradox is such an ancient and enduring logic problem that in the Middle Ages the word "crocodilite" came to be used to refer to any similarly brain-twisting dilemma where you admit something that is later used against you, while "crocodility" is an equally ancient word for captious or fallacious reasoning

6. THE DICHOTOMY PARADOX

Imagine that you’re about to set off walking down a street. To reach the other end, you’d first have to walk half way there. And to walk half way there, you’d first have to walk a quarter of the way there. And to walk a quarter of the way there, you’d first have to walk an eighth of the way there. And before that a sixteenth of the way there, and then a thirty-second of the way there, a sixty-fourth of the way there, and so on.
Ultimately, in order to perform even the simplest of tasks like walking down a street, you’d have to perform an infinite number of smaller tasks—something that, by definition, is utterly impossible. Not only that, but no matter how small the first part of the journey is said to be, it can always be halved to create another task; the only way in which it cannot be halved would be to consider the first part of the journey to be of absolutely no distance whatsoever, and in order to complete the task of moving no distance whatsoever, you can’t even start your journey in the first place.

7. THE FLETCHER’S PARADOX

Imagine a fletcher (i.e. an arrow-maker) has fired one of his arrows into the air. For the arrow to be considered to be moving, it has to be continually repositioning itself from the place where it is now to any place where it currently isn’t. The Fletcher’s Paradox, however, states that throughout its trajectory the arrow is actually not moving at all. At any given instant of no real duration (in other words, a snapshot in time) during its flight, the arrow cannot move to somewhere it isn’t because there isn’t time for it to do so. And it can’t move to where it is now, because it’s already there. So, for that instant in time, the arrow must be stationary. But because all time is comprised entirely of instants—in every one of which the arrow must also be stationary—then the arrow must in fact be stationary the entire time. Except, of course, it isn’t.

8. GALILEO’S PARADOX OF THE INFINITE

In his final written work, Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Relating to Two New Sciences (1638), the legendary Italian polymath Galileo Galilei proposed a mathematical paradox based on the relationships between different sets of numbers. On the one hand, he proposed, there are square numbers—like 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, and so on. On the other, there are those numbers that are not squares—like 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and so on. Put these two groups together, and surely there have to be more numbers in general than there are just square numbers—or, to put it another way, the total number of square numbers must be less than the total number of square and non-square numbers together. However, because every positive number has to have a corresponding square and every square number has to have a positive number as its square root, there cannot possibly be more of one than the other.
Confused? You’re not the only one. In his discussion of his paradox, Galileo was left with no alternative than to conclude that numerical concepts like more, less, or fewer can only be applied to finite sets of numbers, and as there are an infinite number of square and non-square numbers, these concepts simply cannot be used in this context.

9. THE POTATO PARADOX

Imagine that a farmer has a sack containing 100 lbs of potatoes. The potatoes, he discovers, are comprised of 99% water and 1% solids, so he leaves them in the heat of the sun for a day to let the amount of water in them reduce to 98%. But when he returns to them the day after, he finds his 100 lb sack now weighs just 50 lbs. How can this be true? Well, if 99% of 100 lbs of potatoes is water then the water must weigh 99 lbs. The 1% of solids must ultimately weigh just 1 lb, giving a ratio of solids to liquids of 1:99. But if the potatoes are allowed to dehydrate to 98% water, the solids must now account for 2% of the weight—a ratio of 2:98, or 1:49—even though the solids must still only weigh 1lb. The water, ultimately, must now weigh 49lb, giving a total weight of 50lbs despite just a 1% reduction in water content. Or must it?
Although not a true paradox in the strictest sense, the counterintuitive Potato Paradox is a famous example of what is known as a veridical paradox, in which a basic theory is taken to a logical but apparently absurd conclusion.

10. THE RAVEN PARADOX

Also known as Hempel’s Paradox, for the German logician who proposed it in the mid-1940s, the Raven Paradox begins with the apparently straightforward and entirely true statement that “all ravens are black.” This is matched by a “logically contrapositive” (i.e. negative and contradictory) statement that “everything that is not black is not a raven”—which, despite seeming like a fairly unnecessary point to make, is also true given that we know “all ravens are black.” Hempel argues that whenever we see a black raven, this provides evidence to support the first statement. But by extension, whenever we see anything that is not black, like an apple, this too must be taken as evidence supporting the second statement—after all, an apple is not black, and nor is it a raven.
The paradox here is that Hempel has apparently proved that seeing an apple provides us with evidence, no matter how unrelated it may seem, that ravens are black. It’s the equivalent of saying that you live in New York is evidence that you don’t live in L.A., or that saying you are 30 years old is evidence that you are not 29. Just how much information can one statement actually imply anyway?

Microsoft Lumia 940 & Lumia 940 XL Windows 10 phones UK release date, price and specification rumours

No longer just a desktop OS, Windows 10 will also run on phones and tablets - and the Microsoft Lumia 940 (codenamed Talkman) and 940 XL (codenamed Cityman) will be among the first Windows Phones to run Windows 10. Here we round up the Microsoft Lumia 940 & 940 XL UK release date, price and specs rumours. When are the Lumia 940 & 940 XL coming out? Also see: Best Windows Phones 2015 and Best smartphones 2015.

Microsoft Lumia 940 & 940 XL UK release date: When are the Lumia 940 & 940 XL coming out?

The fact that the Microsoft Lumia 940 and 940 XL run Windows 10 means we'll be waiting a little while yet for them to arrive. The Lumia 930 went on sale in the UK on 17 July 2014, so it'll be later this summer before the 940 and 940 XL make an appearance. 

It's probable that the Lumia 940 and 940 XL will arrive with Windows 10. On 21 January Microsoft held a Windows 10 event, during which it unveiled a Consumer Preview of the OS.

Then, in April at its BUILD conference, Microsoft said we should expect a staggered release for Windows 10, with PCs coming first this summer. 

Our best guess is a July/August launch for the Microsoft Lumia 940 and 940 XL, but we will update this story as more information becomes available. 

Microsoft Lumia 940 & 940 XL UK price: How much will the Lumia 940 & 940 XL cost?

Replacing the Nokia Lumia 930, the Microsoft Lumia 940 will likely have a similar price. The Lumia 930 originally had a £549, but now a year old you can grab one for £399 at Microsoft's store. Microsoft has been going big on value with its latest Lumia phones, and we can't imagine the Lumia 940 costing much more than £499, especially if it wants to push the uptake of Windows 10 on phones.

At the time of our Microsoft lumia 640 review - the other Microsoft phone for which we've seen an XL version - there was £90 separating the £129 Lumia 640 and £219 Lumia 640 XL (£50 if you consider that the 640's RRP is actually £169 at Microsoft's store, although you can buy it cheaper elsewhere). It's possible that we could see a similar price gap between Lumia 940 and 940 XL.

Of course, that's merely speculation, and we'll update this article as soon as more concrete information is available. 

Microsoft Lumia 940 & 940 XL specifications

• Windows Phone 10 

• 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 processor 

• Adreno 420 graphics 

• 3GB RAM 

• 32-, 64- or 128GB storage 

• 5in full-HD (1920x1080) screen with Gorilla Glass 4 (since rumoured to be a 5.2in screen) 

• WLAN, NFC, USB 3.0 

• 24Mp PureView camera with LED flash, 4K video recording at 60fps (since rumoured to be a 25Mp camera) 

• 5Mp front camera, 1080p video

• 3250mAh battery

• 137x71x8.9mm 

• 149g

• Windows Phone 10

• 5.7in Quad HD (2560x1440) screen

• 4GB RAM

• 32GB of storage (plus microSD support up to 128GB)

• 25Mp rear camera, 5Mp front camera

• 3950mAh battery

The only differences between the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL are the larger screen and battery, plus upgraded cameras on the XL version. With that in mind the 940 XL's rumoured specification doesn't sound massively unlikely (except perhaps the 4- rather than 3GB of RAM and Quad- rather than full-HD screen resolution):

Several concept images of the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL have been spotted online, but remember that they are only concept images and not the real deal.

How To Create a Website Like Facebook Using WordPress

How To Create A Social Network Website Like Facebook From Scratch with WordPress + BuddyPress!

This guide covers exactly how to create a website like Facebook (or any social network) using WordPress and the BuddyPress plugin.
WordPress + BuddyPress allow you to build a beautiful website with key social networking features such as user profiles, groups,  mentions, activity feeds and more.
You’ll be able to build your site “out of the box” step by step with a couple bits of free, open-source, quality software that’s meant to empower anyone to start a social network for their meetup, school, community, hobby – anything you can imagine (without hiring $$$ developers to write all the code from scratch).
WordPress started more than a decade ago as a simple blogging software, but it has grown and evolved into the most widely used “content management systems” (aka CMS) on the Internet. It gives you the tools to build & manage any type of website.
WordPress has “Plugins” or bits of software that adds features & functionality…such as social networking features.
In other words, WordPress provides the foundation of a website that’s adaptable to build any type of website. It’s going to allow you to build a website like Facebook with no real programming knowledge by just installing bits of software that work together.

Capabilities & Expectations

Before we get started, there’s a couple things to clarify. First (and most obvious) is that there are a million different ways to build a social network website like Facebook – just like there are a million ways to build a house. It comes down to the key features that you want, and what it takes to get them.
I’m a fan of WordPress + BuddyPress because:

• It works out of the box
• It’s supported by a very active community
• It has all the key features of a social network
• It has options & a community of developers who can easily add anything on top of the platform
• It’s open-source, free & standardized so you are not “locked in” if you ever need to develop a custom solution

However, it’s also not:

• Supported by billions of dollars of investment (aka Facebook)
• Specifically built from the ground up with social network features
• Drag, drop, click & done.

It requires a bit of thought, setup, and planning. But that is what this guide is for! Let’s dive into how to create a website like Facebook with WordPress.

Getting Started – Hosting & Installing WordPress

Your absolute first step will be getting a domain name (an address for your site) and a hosting account (a server where your website will live) with WordPress installed on that server. If you want exact details & screenshots on this process –> pause and read & follow my guide to setting up WordPress from scratch here.
Your choice of domain name provider doesn’t matter directly as much as hosting. I like to keep domain & hosting separate if only for costs & flexibility. As mentioned in the setup guide, I’m a fan of NameCheap for clean dashboard and better long-term pricing (see their plans here). I wrote a long review of them and GoDaddy here.
Social networking sites are going usually start off small resource-wise, but can quickly grow to have a large database with heavy PHP memory and storage requirements.
To start off, a well-provided for shared linux-based hosting account will do fine for a while. The ones I recommend in the setup guide are all solid because they all provide more then 256M of memory (something not featured by many hosting companies) and provide unlimited storage. In the setup guide, I recommend the following hosting plans to start off a WordPress + BuddyPress site:

• HostGator (see their plans here – use swampland25 promo code for 25% off). Great host overall when factoring in great pricing, solid service & complete features. I use them for most of my personal projects, including this website.
• Bluehost (see their plans here). A sister brand of HostGator and run out of the same data center. Slightly pricier but has a cleaner backend interface. Also a company I use for several client projects.
• InMotion Hosting (see their plans here). A strong, independent hosting company. A bit more expensive than HostGator but with impeccable service in my experience. See my full comparison here.

If you are planning on starting out with hundreds of active users, you will want to start out with a service that either has dedicated server resources OR a staff that actively manages your WordPress installation and server resources for you.
That will mean purchasing a Virtual Private Server (VPS) through HostGator (actually the exact plan ShivarWeb.com uses), which will give you lots of dedicated server resources for a large site. If purchased with cPanel, it will be a similar setup process as with shared hosting and note that with you can still use swampland25 for 25% off.
Or it will mean getting a plan with someone like WP Engine (also a company I have used for some projects) which focuses specifically on WordPress hosting and actively manages your installation & server resources for you (see their plans here)
All companies mentioned have a straightforward quick-install WordPress process (again, detailed in my setup guide here).
Once you’ve got WordPress installed and you are familiar with the Dashboard and backend setup, it’s time to create a website like Facebook (or any social network).

Introduction to BuddyPress

As I mentioned earlier, WordPress is the content management system that “powers” your website. What makes it so versatile though is that you can install plugins for WordPress to add additional functionality that isn’t included in the main package.
BuddyPress is one such plugin. It’s a plugin that adds user profiles, activity streams, user groups, and other social network type functionality to your WordPress-powered website. Unlike many plugins that are developed by third parties, BuddyPress is actually one of the plugins developed directly within the WordPress community.

BuddyPress Project

It’s built to work hand in glove with WordPress and it has the same type of documentation. It’s also operated under the same principles as WordPress.org software – it’s open-source (aka not proprietary to a corporation); it’s GPL licensed (aka you can use it and modify it as you wish); and it’s free and supported by the community and users around it.
Because it’s open-source, any site you build with BuddyPress + WordPress will be yours. There’s a lot of plug and play social network platforms, but if you develop a site with their software, it will not be truly yours.
Since it’s part of the growing WordPress ecosystem, it has a strong community of developers (they actually just raised $51,000 to let a developer focus solely on speed optimizations for BuddyPress). And since there’s so much interest in BuddyPress, it’s easier to find developers who can work with WordPress/BuddyPress platforms.

BuddyPress in action

Now that you know a bit about what you’re working with, let’s actually get it installed.

Install the BuddyPress Plugin

To install the BuddyPress plugin, navigate to Plugins –> Add New from the WordPress Dashboard. Then search for BuddyPress. Click install, then click Activate.

Find The Plugin in the Dashboard

After activating the plugin, you’ll be redirected to the BuddyPress welcome screen with next steps.

BuddyPress Getting Started

Now before you dive in setting up different components and features, it’s a good time to stop and envision the functionality of your site without the design.
What exactly do you want your members to be able to do? It’s one thing to “be like Facebook” or “be like Twitter” but in reality their core features have been around since the dawn of the web – peer to peer communication, organization into groups, links, profiles, etc.

Configure Your Social Network Features

Now that you have an idea of exactly what you want to achieve, let’s go ahead and start configuring the functionality of BuddyPress to fit what you’re looking for.
Head to Settings –> BuddyPress and check out the default Components tab.

BuddyPress Components

You’ll get to decide on:
Extended Profiles
Even without BuddyPress installed, WordPress allows people to register as users. BuddyPress lets you enable this option to expand the user profiles, so they can make it into a true Facebook/Twitter/Google+ style profile page.
Member Account Settings
Allows users to customize their settings without contacting the owner of the social network (ie, you).
Friend Connections
This is exactly like the Facebook friending or Google+ Circling functionality. Your users customize who they keep up with in their feeds.
Internal Messaging
Think Facebook/Twitter mentions and/or direct messages. Allows users to message each other directly within your network.
Notifications
Enables notification functionality both within the site with a user toolbar and with email. Users can customize their alert options.
Activity Streams
This component generates customized streams (aka the Facebook Newsfeed or Twitter feed). It’s fully customizable and comes with RSS/Email support if you want it.
User Groups
If you want something like Facebook Groups, then here’s your component. This allows your users to organize public, private or hidden activity groups to talk about whatever they want to discuss.
Site Tracking
If you want BuddyPress to organize site usage statistics – then there you go.
That’s all of BuddyPress’ built-in functions. However, the huge advantage of BuddyPress is the fact that it’s an open-source platform, so anyone can build a plugin to extend it even further (and yes, that does mean there are plugins for plugins – so awesome). We’ll cover additional ways you can extend functionality in a separate section.
But first, let’s finish setting up internal settings & fields.

Configure Your Settings & Fields

The next tab in BuddyPress settings is the Pages tab.

BuddyPress Pages

BuddyPress has several required pages – such as member page and activity page. It will automatically generate them.
If you want a specific sign-up & activate membership page (ie, if users can sign up without you assigning username/password), then you’ll need to create a Page and then “assign” it to these roles respectively.
The next tab is actual Settings. These are fairly self-explanatory with the defaults being the norm.
For an overview of where everything relate to BuddyPress is from the WordPress Dashboard:

BuddyPress Dashboard

Now you have a fully functional social network site just like Facebook, Twitter or Google+. However, as you can tell, functionality is only part of the battle. The real wins are going to be with design. So let’s dive into that next.

Get a BuddyPress Compatible Theme for Design

In WordPress, plugins handle functionality and themes handle the design & layout of the website.
Since BuddyPress is a WordPress sub-project, it integrates quite well with all default WordPress themes. It uses similar classes and templates, and will keep your design across all page types.
However, default WordPress themes look like, well, the default. They aren’t unique (without heavy customization) and don’t have the beauty or attention to detail that premium themes made by third party professional designers do.

BuddyPress with Default Twenty Twelve Theme

When shopping for a premium theme (or theme framework) that you love, you can either look for BuddyPress specific themes OR look for themes that have the ability to add BuddyPress support (ie, adding extra classes, templates, etc).
For example, my favorite theme framework (ie, a theme with a base layout and classes that you can easily add skins, aka “child themes” to) is Genesis by StudioPress. It has a simple plugin that adds BuddyPress support to all themes, so you can install Genesis and select any child theme you like and apply it and it will look consistent across your social network.
There’s also plenty of incredible themes custom built specifically for BuddyPress. You can check out premium themes at ThemeForest here, BuddyPress free themes here, or more premium themes at MOJO Themes here.
Either way, just keep in mind that while your theme should integrate well, BuddyPress does have extra classes and templates that a theme will need to account for.
Additional resources are my breakdown of WordPress theme frameworks, and how to install a WordPress theme here.
Now you officially have a beautiful, functional website just like Facebook!
However, just as sites like Facebook and Twitter are always adding features, BuddyPress allows you to keep adding features and customizing the experience for your members.

Customize & Extend The Social Network Experience

BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin that adds social network functionality to WordPress. But BuddyPress itself can accept plugins as well to add more functionality.
BuddyPress’ free plugins can be found here. Some are interesting, especially for smaller functionality. However the BuddyPress market is not that large, so sometimes free BuddyPress plugins are not kept up to date. I would strongly recommend looking at premium BuddyPress plugins by WPMU to start. They have a great selection and, since they are paid plugins, are well maintained.
BuddyPress also plays well with other WordPress plugins to make all sorts of fun combinations.
bbPress is WordPress’ other sub-project that creates forums. It deserves it’s own setup guide, but keep in mind that adding forums on top of BuddyPress is a very interesting combination.
And since BuddyPress is an open-source platform, developers are straightforward to find. Your imagination is really the only limitation.

Next Steps & Resources

First, you’ll need a domain name for your website. I recommend NameCheap (register for a domain here & read my comparison with GoDaddy here).
Second, you’ll need to sign up for hosting. If you are starting small, check out either BlueHost (see their plans here), InMotion (see their plans here) or HostGator (see their plans here & get 25% off with promo code swampland25).
If you are going to be more than +100 users right off the bat, then I’d recommend using WP Engine (see their plans here) – a managed hosting service that specializes in WordPress. They may seem pricey, but they have great customer service and will dedicate the resources your site needs. For a growing resource-intensive site, they are worth every penny. They are even investing money in making BuddyPress even better.
Third, you’ll need to install WordPress. See my WordPress website setup guide for step by step walkthrough. If you are using WP Engine, it’s already set up.
Fourth, install BuddyPress plugin & define your components.
Fifth, get a compatible theme. I recommend checking out Themeforest (see here), Genesis theme framework with BuddyPress connect, or customizing a default WordPress theme. See BuddyPress’ free theme directory here.
Sixth, learn WordPress & BuddyPress and explore the options. Start with my intro video guides here.
Seventh, start signing up users, adding content, and growing your website! Good luck!
