The team over at Automattic drew their inspiration for this group blog theme from Twitter. While they liked what Twitter had to offer, they found themselves wanting more. Specifically, they wanted a way to send internal updates about what they were doing or working on as well as a way to post private messages that would only be visible to certain groups. It was for those reasons that they developed the Prologue theme.
After undergoing updates and improvements, Prologue evolved into P2. Today, this theme is jam-packed with many features that make microblogging as easy as can be. Here is just a sampling of what P2 has to offer:
Front page posting
Dynamic page updates
Threaded comments on the front page
In-line editing of both posts and comments
Live tag suggestion
Show or hide comments
Keyboard shortcuts
Real-time notifications
P2, which can be found at http://p2theme.com/, offers ease of use by providing access to many features right on the front page.
