BoingBoing tribe on Tribe.net turns 300

BoingBoing tribe on Tribe.net turns 300 11/06/2003 11:10 AM
A few weeks back, BoingBoing reader Pauly M. and friends created a "BoingBoing tribe" at the online social networking site Tribe.net to "further the banter and chitchat that goes along with boingboing." The group appears to be growing, and just passed the 300-member mark. Link

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. Link
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!)

More Tribes Go Wireless

More Tribes Go Wireless 04/29/2004 05:54 PM
MuniWireless reports that a tribe in Southern California is using broadband wireless to link 18 tribal communities: HP donated a bunch of gear for the network and the tribe is using solar-powered antennas. In addition to the educational benefits to such a network, tribal members are using the access to keep on top of and apply for federal grants. We've linked to other stories about tribes around the country using wireless to bring Internet access to reservations. In most of these cases, the incumbent operators weren't interested in serving the communities, which are often remote and sparsely populated. But the growth of Wi-Fi has driven down the cost of some equipment such that it's possible for these communities to build their own networks. Many of these tribes aren't looking to the Internet for entertainment but as a way to improve the educational and employment opportunities for residents....

Halo 2 vs. Tribes 2

Halo 2 vs. Tribes 2 12/22/2004 01:03 AM

I went to visit my brother in Colorado over the weekend, and he had a copy of Halo 2 with an X-Box Live subscription. I didn't get to play it, but I watched him quite a bit.

X-Box Live is hailed as the big thing that propels Halo 2 into gaming infamy. However, in watching my brother play, I was struck by how much it looked like a similar, older game: Tribes. It was perhaps more graphically advanced than Tribes, but it didn't look much better than Tribes 2.

Gameplay dynamics seemed pretty much the same. My brother was amazed at the idea of playing people from around the world in a giant game of capture the flag, but I just couldn't kick the thought that I had seen this all before.

Is there anyone who has played both Halo 2 and Tribes 2 that can comment on how similar they are or which is better? Is Halo 2 that good, or is it just Tribes 2 for the console-playing masses? (The flame doors have just swung open...)

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.

Lost Tribes of Israel on Every Continent

Lost Tribes of Israel on Every Continent 01/07/2004 03:37 PM

Tudor Parfitt, an English academic, schlepped all over southern Africa trying to figure out whether or not the Lemba people were, as some of them claimed, in fact Jews.  He wrote up his travels, circa 1990, in Jo urney to the Vanished City.  This was no easy task due to the fact that the Lemba have been illiterate for many centuries (if not forever) and therefore all of their history had to be obtained in person-to-person interviews.  There are some parallels between the situation with the Lemba in Africa and the Indians and Mormons in the U.S.  According to the book, southern Africa was never inhabited by literate people and for the most part never inhabited by people who built any buildings more substantial than a grass hut.  When whites came to southern Africa they encountered tribes living in grass huts but also an extensive ruined stone city called "Great Zimbabwe".  They didn't want to believe that ancestors of the blacks whom they were oppressing had been capable of advanced civilization and therefore a popular explanation was that people from the Middle East had come down to southern Africa at some point, built Great Zimbabwe, and left.  The theory made some sense in that Arab slave traders had been operating up and down Africa's east coast for many centuries and had colonized substantial parts of the Horn of Africa.

Where's the parallel with the U.S.?  There are massive ceremonial centers built of earth in the Ohio River Valley and up and down the Mississippi (Cahokia, Illinois being the largest).  Europeans displacing American Indians did not want to believe that the people whom they were pushing aside had ever been capable of much.Various theories were promulgated in the early 1800s as to who might have built these impressive structures.  The Book of Mormon is an explanation that posits immigrants from the Middle East (tribes of Israel in fact).

The book is interesting as a travel adventure and it is also interesting as a reflection of attitudes about the country of Zimbabwe circa 1990.  A black South African university professor is quoted:

"I don't think the Africans are a vengeful people.  Look what happened in Zimbabwe.  The whites always said there would be a blood-bath if the blacks won the war, but not so. ... If redemption and peace can come to Rhodesia after years of one of the bloodiest wars, it can come here."

[Oh yes... the Lemba.  If you don't want to read the book it turns out that DNA studies carried out in the late 1990s indicate that they have some Middle Eastern blood.  Their oral history points to an origin in present-day Yemen.  There were Jews in Yemen until they were pushed out by Arab riots in 1948 (they took refuge in Israel, some of them men with two wives, thus becoming some of Israel's only legal polygamists).Of course there were Arabs in Yemen.  The handful of Lemba traditions that are Middle Eastern could be either Muslim or Jewish.  So the question remains open...]

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!

Tribe Blog

Tribe Blog 03/08/2004 11:26 PM

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.

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.

Ancient tribes of the Andaman and

Ancient tribes of the Andaman and
Nicobar Islands 01/04/2005 04:09 AM
The tribal people of the beautiful Andaman and Nicobar Islands include socially and genetically important ancient 'negrito' groups such as the Jarawa. Fortunately, it looks like many of their tiny communities have survived the earthquake and tsunami.

Indigenous tribes at risk of extinction

Indigenous tribes at risk of extinction
after tsunami 12/29/2004 09:56 PM
Xeni Jardin: Some of the indigenous ethnic communities on Andaman and Nicobar islands could be on the verge of extinction after the tsunami disaster.

The remote cluster of more than 550 islands, of which only about three dozen are inhabited, is home to six tribes of Mongoloid and African origin who have lived there for thousands of years. Many of these tribal people are semi-nomadic and subsist on hunting with spears, bows and arrows, and by fishing and gathering fruit and roots. They still cover themselves with tree bark or leaves.

"They are a vital link to our prehistoric past. If they are lost, India and the world lose a bit of their glorious heterogeneity," said Ajoy Bagchi, executive director of the People's Commission on Environment and Development, India, which has worked with tribal groups in the region for years.

"Even a small loss in any of these groups, barring the more numerous Nicobarese, could seriously endanger their survival. We need to immediately do a count on how many of them are alive."

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.

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.

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
