First TalkPress Forum Sees Light Of Day

It was announced yesterday that Health.com which is a WordPress.com VIP member now has a forum available which is powered by TalkPress.com. In fact, the TalkPress website itself now clearly explains what the service is all about.

Because of the nature of this program it is not open to the general public, it is intended for high-profile publishers, media companies, or startups that we have a good deal of confidence in.

Originally, I thought TalkPress would simply be a paid feature for WordPress.com users but I imagine the technical aspects of the system would not allow that to be feasible let alone affordable. So for those of you on WordPress.com who were looking forward to having a forum go along with your blog, looks like you’re out of luck.

What do you think about TalkPress being relegated to WordPress.com VIP members only?
