Lately a lot of people on the Internet seem to have been addicted to the very famous microblogging social network Twitter. On the other hand the hardcore bloggers still prefer to use Wordpress for its splendid blogging features and high functionality.
Following the enraging multi-trends of blogging, the guys at Automattic (the company behind Wordpress) decided to make a theme that would fulfill the needs of both Twitter and Wordpress users. So they came up with a Wordpress theme called Prologue.
Prologue is a special Wordpress theme created by Joseph Scott and Matt Thomas from the Automattic team. It can be imagined as a group Twitter that brings the very unique features and functionality of Twitter to Wordpress. Mathematically it is easy to understand:
Prologue = Twitter + Wordpress
Prologue Features
In Prologue each message can have comments (just like a blog post in regular Wordpress) and of course each comments thread has its own RSS feed.
Basically how it works is when someone has the ability to post to a blog they see a short form at the top of the home page with a post box and tags. There they can post short messages about what they’re doing. Below the posting box is a list of everyone’s latest tweet or message, with their Gravatar next to it.
Download Prologue for Wordpress
Prologue is available to the Wordpress.com users in their Presentations tab section. However if you plan to download it to use it on your self-hosted Wordpress blog, please use the link below.
Not really keeping to its original intention, but Prologue’s clean, white, iPhone friendly creative inspired me to build a Jakarta bar listings & review site:

Innovative use of various WP comments plugins allow users to not just submit their reviews, but also ratings, as well as rate the reviews of other users.
