Then that's a new thought for the developers. :D WordPressMU is the multi-user version of WordPress. WordPress.com runs on WordPressMU, as does edublogs, teens in tech, and many other multiple blogger blog networks. Many people and businesses are using WordPressMU to set up multi-user blog networks and it's exciting to see people like Daniel setting up such a system for teens. @ tongsi:

He's done amazing things with his blogs, so much so, I've even had him guest blog on my own blog. This is very exciting and knowing him as I do, this is right in line with his character. He is amazingly giving and hard working, and determined to give back to his community and fellow teens. His podcasts are fun, interviewing leaders in the tech and web industry for <a href="http://www.appleuniversepodcast.com/" title="Apple Universe" rel="nofollow">Apple Universe</a>. I would not judge his capabilities nor the upcoming WordPressMU site based upon his server host. Dreamhost is one of the big players in web hosting, whether deserved or not. With his connections, it is possible that he is working closely with them for hosting his new service. It's also not about the bells and whistles that would make Teens in Tech's site special or unique. None of that is important. As to why go with Teens in Tech as an independent rather than WordPress.com, it's pretty obvious. In fact, is the dream of Automattic and all who worked so hard to develop WordPressMU. It's about the <em>community</em> created. Imagine a single reference source stuffed with a community of teens blogging about tech, creating a social network to share ideas, dreams, code, beta testing...it's like creating a think tank for the future. Who knows what amazing collaborations will come out of this as brilliant teenagers from around the world find each other and connect through their blogs and community network. Sponsors and high tech planning for future hires would be a fool not to jump on this! I'm impressed. I'm thrilled. I'll be watching closely and cheering.
