    Example Scenario. This is what I had in mind and I have yet to materialize my thoughts. Please advice.

    Imagine a worldwide food website where users are allowed to contribute posts about what they ate whether if it is today, yesterday, a week ago, etc.

    This is how I imagine the structure of the site to look like.

    food.com
    – is the main global page where news, top articles of the day, recent activities, featured contributers are put up.

    france.food.com
    – is the country specific page where news, top articles of the day, recent activities, featured contributers are put up.

    usa.food.com/florida/post-title
    usa.food.com/texas/post-title
    england.food.com/essex/post-title
    england.food.com/suffolk/post-title
    japan.food.com/tokyo/post-title
    – is state specific where user written articles are found. Anyone who is registered is able to write a post about food they’ve enjoyed in any city in the state.

    What’s the preferred one, WordPress or WordPress MU? And why?

    Thanks, in advance. =)

    I believe WPMU will help you out more as you can create more of a community with it, then you could add in BuddyPress to get even more functionality.

    I had a similar idea but for a different niche and WPMU + BuddyPress (with some code hacking) seems to be the way you should go on this one!

    I have been using WP for some years now and I feel pretty comfortable with it. There are plugins for almost anything, tons and tons of themes and the support is more than WPMU I suppose.

    What I’m afraid most is stumbling upon unfamiliar codes in WPMU and having to take a longer time than expected to set up the initial site as I’d imagined it would be.
