The University of South California recently deployed WordPress in its blog portal, blog@USF. It’s more than just multiple stock installations though, with its integration with Menalto Gallery, Flickr, the de.li.cious bookmark manager and others.

At present, it’s based on WordPress 1.2.2 but the developer’s planning to move to WordPress 1.5 in version 2 of blog@USF. He even has the source code available on his blog. I’m glad that I dropped by there, because I got to know about the MetaPlanet aggregator. Not quite as integrated as the Summary page feature of pLog, but is handy for making a “portal” out of multiple single-blog installations.
