Cisco Buys Tribe

Tribe

According to the New York Times, Cisco Systems is buying the technology behind the San Francisco based social network Tribe. That’s beyond bizarre. Maybe they will start shipping routers with embedded Burning Man discussions.

Oh and before you go delete your Tribe profile in protest, Tribe.net will remain an independent website. Cisco is just buying the underlying technology, not the content that makes up Tribe.net.
