Roll your own Twitter with Prologue

Prologue from WordPress
If you've used Twitter, you've probably wondered what it would take to have Twitter-like functionality either 1) on your own blog or website or 2) inside your own company or organization. If so, your wait is over.

Automattic, the company behind WordPress, has released Prologue, a smart theme for WordPress weblogs that allows you to roll your own Twitter. As you can see on the screenshot above, Prologue is structures much like Twitter with a basic window to allow you to enter in some text, along with a submit button and an option to tag your submission.

Automattic has wisely included RSS feeds for many aspects of Prologue including RSS for specific authors, comments, tag, or the entire prologue itself.

To get going with Prologue, download the theme files and apply the theme in your WordPress instance. If your blog is hosted on WordPress.com, simply specify Prologue as your blog theme of choice in the "Presentation" section of your WordPress options.

Prologue is perfect for organizations who would like to have their own Twitter-like conversations or for individuals who want the same!
