DePo Square is a beautiful, simple WordPress theme that provides Tumblr-like capacity to post photos and videos in the stream of your posts.
Designed by well-known web identity Derek Powazek, DePo Square is a minimalist-looking theme with elegant typography and effective functionality.
To use the theme ala Tumblr, you simply map your categories so as to allow you to use five pre-defined post types — Post (default), Status, Quote, Link, or Photo — and your content will be displayed in a format special to those types.
Just select your category mappings by visiting the “Current Theme Options” under “Appearance.” No CSS or other formatting is necessary.
The theme also has a neat widget space in the top header, allowing site owners to mix navigation with updates from Twitter and Flickr.

P2 is a powerful WordPress theme useful for group collaboration, a kind of combination of blogs and Twitter.
At first glance it might come across as another simple Wordpress theme, but if you take a closer look, P2 has a lot more to offer.
In simple terms, P2 is like a combination of Twitter and blogs. Instead of long, monologue posts, P2 is for group bloggers. It features inline comments on the front page for easy group interaction. It does everything that your standard blog does, but faster.
P2 does away with logging into your post editor. Logged-in users can post directly on the front page. Posts are published in real time and the page is updated automatically with no refreshing.
P2 also features an effective iPhone interface. It’s from Automattic, the makers of WordPress. If you’re working in a small team it’s worth experimenting with.
