We all know that WordPress is a blogging platform first, but can also function pretty well as a Content Management System (CMS).   Did you know WordPress can also be used in other more “creative” ways as well?

Mashable recently featured the 7 weirdest and wackiest uses for WordPress, which is one of those posts that definitely lives up to the title.   In their post, they feature WordPress being used in the following ways:

  • WordPress as a Social Network
  • WordPress as a Newsletter
  • WordPress as a Word Processor
  • WordPress as a Workplace Chat Room
  • WordPress as a Contact Manager
  • WordPress as a Wiki
  • WordPress as a Task Manager

Have you ever wondered what makes WordPress so great?  I think this post goes to show the flexibility of WordPress.

    Using WordPress as a Wiki is no longer weird.

    We have just launched a plugin called WordPress Wiki Plugin.

    This plugin works with WordPress 2.7 and adds real Wiki functionality to your site without having to integrate another third party wiki application :)

    Try it out:
