After finishing one project and getting started on a new one this plugin is a recommended one with the theme I am using to build a company Intranet site. As the site will be interactive for a company with 100+ remote workforce. This theme will be using Buddypress and several other related plugins. Staring with this one it allows for users to receive live notifications when someone else sends them a connection request. It appears to work pretty time will tell.

The Lowdown:
This is a drag and drop framework for building your WordPress website out. It is on par with most other frameworks I have used. It is pretty easy to use and has several modules that you can activate separately. The theme I amusing came with this framework and has its own custom modules for working with it. During the coming weeks as I work though this project I will be discussing them.
