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!)

Town Sold On eBay Not Really Sold

Town Sold On eBay Not Really Sold 12/29/2003 04:51 AM
Earlier this month, I wrote about how it's become popular to use eBay as not just a buying and selling platform, but also as a PR platform for such things as selling towns - because you're almost guaranteed to get press coverage for selling something weird. Of course, it looks like there might also be a downside. Last year, a town in California received a ton of press for being put up on eBay, after conventional attempts to sell it had failed. That press coverage helped push up interest in the town until someone "won" the town with a bid of $1.8 million. Of course, as we pointed out at the time, with many such high profile auctions, the top bid is likely to be bogus. A few months after the original auction, it was reported that the sale still hadn't been finalized. Now, exactly a year after the original eBay auction happened, the folks who "own" the town are admitting that the buyer disappeared and never sent a check. Even worse, the sellers then went down the list of everyone else who bid on the town and failed to find a single legitimate buyer. Thus, the town is back up for sale - but not on eBay and at half the price of what they "sold" it for last year.

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay 05/21/2004 02:35 AM
Back in 2002 there was a tremendous amount of hype when Bridgeville, the small (mostly deserted) California town was put up for sale on eBay. It eventually sold in an auction for $1.8 million - and got a tremendous amount of press attention. The only problem: the $1.8 million bid was a hoax. A whole year went by and the owners of the "town" sheepishly admitted that the buyer (and his money) never showed up. Now, however, the town has been sold again - but not on eBay, and back down at its original asking price of $700,000. Even with the failure of the actual sale to go through, though, people still remember that you can "sell a town on eBay," contributing to the use of eBay as a PR platform beyond just its ability to match buyers and sellers.

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 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.

New Tribe.net appearing soon

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'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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Judith discovers Tribe Cast

Judith discovers Tribe Cast 07/07/2004 12:55 PM

I got to see Judith Meskill again at Supernova. She's one of the smartest cookies in the social networking scene - giving the 'Many-to-Many' folks a run for the money - literally.

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.

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.”

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.
