Los Angeles - Automattic, the development team behind the WordPress blogging platform, this week introduced a new platform that enables users to build social networks based on their WordPress sites. WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg said in a blog post that the platform could be useful for a user who "wanted to start something new maybe with more control, friendlier terms of service, or just something customized and tweaked to fit exactly into your existing site."
