MyRather is daily blog, game, and an interactive community based on the widely popular “Would You Rather” conversation game. Everyday, several new “Rathers” are posted for the community to vote on and “Ramble” about. Earn points or “Rupees” for everything you do, view detailed results for each dilemma, you can even submit your own Rathers to the site.

Why it’s in the Showcase: MyRather makes heavy use of WordPress’ custom fields and uses creative backend coding to create dynamic post titles on the fly, all of which are split up into individual phrases based on the many possible language variables and then rearranged and recreated based on a user’s specific input. The site also implements several built-in action hooks to create a live feed for everything a user does on the site in real-time. Individual profile pages for every registered user come with the ability to upload custom avatars as well as for users to submit their own posts, which can then be published to the site.

OnStar offers the most comprehensive safety, security and convenience services to help keep you and your family safe while traveling. OnStar Connect is an online community where subscribers, enthusiasts and friends connect by sharing stories and learning about our latest technologies and services.

Why it’s in the Showcase: OnStar Connections uses WordPress and bbPress to power blogs, discussions, a members section, provide news, and more.

Why it’s in the Showcase: While the main part of VW’s TankWars site is powered by WordPress, the most interesting aspect of the site is its use of BuddyPress. Each driver’s profile (see the site’s “Leaderboard” on the right) contains their best milage score and rankings. Users can upload photos, vote on profiles, and leave comments.
