Tribe.net tribe of the day -- Die,
Charles Shaw, Die! 03/08/2004 11:03 PM
Oh, how I love this. There's an actual tribe on Tribe.net called "Anti-Two-Buck-Chuck," for people who are sick of other people bringing the infamous brand of dollar-ninety-nine wine from Trader Joe's to parties and potlucks and whatnot. For the record, If I invite you to my house for a party, and the invitation says BYOB, which it wouldn't, but I'm just saying, I'd rather that you bring a brown bag of fo'teez than Charles Shaw, plus it would cost less anyway.

Update: Better yet, why not go for Bum Wine? Even cheaper than Charles Shaw, offering a heady bouquet with crack-whore insouciance and subtle drainpipe undertones. (Thanks, Eli the Bearded!)

Tribe 3.0

Tribe 3.0 06/22/2005 02:41 AM

Tribe.net is now almost two years old and I've been there most of the way - trying to get them to provide the kind of features that they're now finally delivering.

Blogging, customization, RSS feeds, privacy access controls - even your own URL. It's all there - live right now.

Lots of people are starting to notice - too. Maybe this will put Tribe back up on the top of the SNS heap. Now they just gotta figure out how to make money.

:-)

Peter Caputa has even extrapolated that this new approach- could put money into BLOGGERS pockets. Hmmmmm.

I'm playing with Tribecaster, a new Tribe.net feature that lets you display your so-called-friends easily within a sidebar on your blog. Each picture and name links back to their profile. Guess this is social media. It smacks of Canter.

Just look for the on your Tribe homepage.

[Ross Mayfield]

Yup - I helped make sure this happened.

As time goes on - you'll start seeing more and more of these "bring it to the bloggers' kind of remote utils. ecto was the first. Blogrolling.com is another example.

I have designs for all sorts of implementations.

I met the NetFlix guys last night.......gee!

New Tribe.net appearing soon 06/06/2005 12:13 AM

So I've been workign with Tribe.net on their new container wrapper technology. Taken in the light of Goog le's recent Fusion announcement - it's apropos that I announce that we're having a CONTEST!

Best new usage of this container technology wins $1,500. And the contestants themselves will vote on who's got the shit. The pah-yah. The coolio-icious-ist.

We're getting ready to do the voting - so all your peeps out there (you know who you are) get your sexy containers in a row - cause it's voting time!

Customization is a crucial ingredient to the DLA formula. Humans want to make things fit to THEIR tastes and environment. We've known this for years - ever sice the days of "personalization".

So having a compelling, customizable environment is a requirement for playing in the DLA space. Tribe has set a new standard for this.

More on this later.

I convinced the folks at Tribe.net to start a company blog.

Here it is.

You'll notice I'm posting to this blog.  Others will as well - such as Mark Pincus - company CEO, Paul Martino - co-founder and company CTO and others - like Walter Thompson - the big cheese of community affairds at Tribe.

I think this is important - not just 'cause Tribe is supporting RSS and Jabber (and soon FOAF.)

It's important 'cause this is a real example of REAL corporate blogging - with a company conciously using the blogosphere to get their message out there.

In terActiveCorp Snaps Up Tribe.net?!? (Does Mark Pincus Know This?).

This has to be an error… Or perhaps an April Fool?

While rummaging through my newsfeed and tips today, I found the following quote from Mediapost.com in — New Ad Models Take Flight — with an intro by Adam Herman, and the sub-article in question — Social Networking Promises Value of Peer-to-Peer, Viral, Behavioral, Contextual, and Search — By Kate Kaye.

In which Kate Kaye says, and I quote:

Owned by TV mogul Barry Diller, InterActiveCorp has also snapped up Tribe.net, Match.com, and Evite.

HUH? Does Mark Pincus know that Barry Diller has “snapped up Tribe.net”?!?! I know that one of Barry Diller’s execs expressed an interest in the Tribe.net business model a while back — around the time of announcing InterActiveCorp’s plan to acquire ZeroDegrees. Does Kate Kaye have prescience? (-:= [The Social Software Weblog]

I can tell yah that as of last night - Tribe was not sold.

Tribe to support FOAF and RSS

Tribe to support FOAF and RSS 02/11/2004 03:04 PM

I just heard from Paul Martino, the CTO and Founder of Tribe.net that they were working on FOAF and RSS support for Tribe. Cool. There are going to be a lot of issues such as privacy, but I think that having companies like Tribe seriously working on FOAF will bring these issues front and center and make some of these theoretical discussions very concrete and productive.

It's official - Tribe Tribes have RSS
now

It's official - Tribe Tribes have RSS
now 03/08/2004 11:26 PM

It's official.  As of today - all Tribe Tribes will feature RSS output of their message boards.

Sure other message boards output RSS, but no other message boards in social networks.  It's putting all this technology into an integrated context that matters. 

Old school means separate data silos.  New school means integration, aggregation and appropriate levels of customization.  That's what digital lifestyle aggregators are all about.

Meanwhile - this is not the ONLY open standard Tribe will be supporting.  Watch for FOAF and Jabber (XMPP) support - soon enough. In the mean time - congrats to Paul, Bryan and the rest of the Tribe team.  Now we gotta get all those Tribesters to start using RSS aggregators!

The Brazilian wave

The Brazilian wave 06/30/2004 02:45 AM

Aside from the hype and deart h of useful ideas, social software has exposed some interesting trends that I didn't know existed. I know I'm not alone in this, but I'm fascinated by a trend that has been going on for about a year and shows no signs of stopping: Brazilians are dominating social software networks.

I guess it makes sense when you think about it. They've got a country with fairly free laws that promote creativity. While they're generally poor on a per capita basis, they have the largest online population in South America.

Recently, Orkut put them neck and neck with Americans on the system and new language tools were added so you could basically cruise the site entirely within groups that posted in just Brazilian Portuguese, or just English. Fotolog had the famous case of Brazilian cam girls competing neck and neck with American photographers last summer. I suspect even with pricing changes at Fotolog, the Brazilians won out in terms of membership numbers since then. Ever since Globo's Blogger install launched a couple years ago, the service has skyrocketed in user numbers. T his person claims Brazil is likely to be the second largest group of bloggers after Americans.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of Brazilian users and the democratic nature of these networks, you see Brazil outpacing the participation and number of Americans. The virtual world is relatively new and doesn't have many limitations beyond the obstacles of getting online in the first place, so the world is on an even playing field so to speak. I find it fascinating that in this new, more open, and more equal environment, Brazil is doing so well. I don't know what it means for the future of Brazil or America, both online and offline, but it's certainly an interesting trend worth watching.

Tribe and Career Builder deal

Tribe and Career Builder deal 03/08/2004 11:26 PM

Partnerships, acquisitions, and new service launches continue to heat up in the social networking space — Are all of these moves in the “best” interest of the communities these YASNs serve? I hear echoes of dana boyd speaking of “context” and “best” as being “in the eye of the beholder.”

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1 /PRNewswire/ — Tribe Networks, a company
pioneering a new approach to the online classifieds business through its popular Web site http://www.tribe.net, today announced a partnership with CareerBuilder.com, a leading online career site with over 16 million monthly unique visitors and more than 400,000 continuously updated jobs.  Through this relationship, Tribe.net’s users will be able to access CareerBuilder.com’s job postings from over 25,000 top employers and leverage their own social and
affinity networks to maximize job search efforts.

According to CareerBuilder.com’s “Plans for 2004” survey completed in
December 2003, 40 percent of workers said they plan to change jobs this year. Workers also revealed that the top three methods they use for finding new positions are newspaper classifieds, online career sites and networking — making the relationship between Tribe.net and CareerBuilder.com a natural fit.

...“Our mission is to give people a better way to leverage their own networks to connect with life-changing opportunities big and small,” said Mark Pincus, CEO of Tribe Networks.  “By partnering with CareerBuilder.com and joining its network of partners, we can offer a critical mass of local job listings that matter to our audience.”

Gamers in the wrong time-tribe

Gamers in the wrong time-tribe 09/15/2004 11:36 AM
Cory Doctorow: Alice is starting to really get somewhere in Star Wars Galaxies, but she's on the horns of a dilemma. She was a Brit early adopter who joined the original US server, and amassed a some moderate game-wealth -- but found the game to be high-latency and sparsely populated because so many of the American players were asleep when she was online. Now SWG is offering to relocate her to the European server -- which will be faster and better-populated -- but she has to leave her game-wealth behind.

[T]he SOE team are now offering account transfers - as a premium purchase. 30 bucks to move your character to a different server, but all assets (my bike!!) would remain behind. So I could move to a European server and have better luck at finding people awake, or I could stay in the US and play with the hardcore.

Here's Judith's post of Tribe Cast (which is turning Tribe into a web service.)

Ross Mayfield’s weblog tipped me a while back to Tribecaster.

Looks great in the right hand column Ross.

How many folks still ‘read’ weblogs by visiting them? How many ‘read’ via RSS sans all of the cool thingies in the left and right hand columns of nicely laid out weblogs such as Ross Mayfield’s?

Has anyone else been utilizing this feature of Tribe?

Comments?

Coincidentally, as I clicked through to Ross Mayfield’s weblog today, my ‘image’ appeared at the top of the list of ‘Friends’. I never really expanded my group of so-called friends on Tribe, Ryze, LinkedIn, etc.

My largest group of ‘friends’ is on Orkut—where I am enamoured of the ‘baseball trading cards’ effect of a few full pages of snapshots of those I have met and/or collaborate with online.

Ongoing discussion of Eastern Standard
Tribe 12/06/2003 08:15 AM
The early review copies of my next novel, Eastern Standard Tribe, have begun to circulate among critics and bookstore owners. There's a bit of a discussion going on about the book's notions of geography-independent tribes over in Julie Czernada's SFF.net newsgroup.

What struck me, about 2:00 AM this morning, after reading the book last night, is that the tribes exist already. Cory isn't talking about a nebulous future, I am, in effect, part of E.S.T. I certainly haven't adjusted my circadians to E.S.T. (consciously, though for some time I have been rising an hour or two earlier than I used to, and going to bed earlier), yet also, for some time now, a significant percentage of my social interaction has revolved around newsgroups that focus on several E.S.T.authors, some E.S.T.publishers, a WorldCon that took place in E.S.T. Additional time is spent communicating with Robert J. Sawyer's Yahoo Group (E.S.T.) and an R.P.Gaming programmers' group that has its key members in E.S.T. My favourite Canadian book distributor is on E.S.T. and I devote a dis-proportionate share of my work energy into promoting their books.

Brazilian open microorganism bank

Brazilian open microorganism bank 03/26/2005 05:13 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Brazilian government is funding an open collection of indigineous microrganisms that will stave off the practice of foreign companies coming to the south, taking what grows there, and locking it away in patents that the countries of origin can't afford to license.

The microbe bank — dubbed the Brazilian Collection of Environmental and Industrial Microorganisms — is housed at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) and was inaugurated on 24 February.

''We intend to put this collection at the service of the scientific and industrial community, by preserving, identifying, maintaining and distributing these microorganisms,'' says biologist Lara Sette, the collection's curator...

Specimens in the 'public access deposit' will be available to public and private institutions to use for research or teaching. The 'safety deposit' will house specimens whose identity and related information are kept confidential and to which access will be restricted.

The third section will include specimens deposited to satisfy Brazilian legal requirements, which state that a sample of any biological material moved between public or private institutions, nationally or internationally, must be deposited in an institution accredited by the Ministry of Environment.
