Tribe.net has just announced Tribe25 “People to Know in 2005” and I’m honored to be selected by the Tribe.net community as one of the 25. I’m in good company. Other Tribe25 people include Hal Robins, Will Franken, SFist kingpin Jackson West and Pirate Cat Radio’s own Monkey Man.
Tribe.net is all about connecting with other locals to discover the best of where you live. For 2005, tribe.net and its members have uncovered these interesting people who are a big part of what makes their world tick. And it’s tribe.net that gives them an easy, powerful, and customizable way to show the world what they’re all about.
If you are not familiar with Tribe.net, it’s a San Francisco based online social network, one of the better ones out there and I’ve been using it since September 2003. They just launched an excellent new modular, multi-themed templating system for their user profiles. I’m currently using this new system with my Tribe.net profile. It includes RSS support, so I now have feeds of the Laughing Squid blog, Squid List and my Flickr photostream loading into my Tribe.net page. If you don’t run an external blog, no problem, you can start your own using Tribe.net’s new blogging module. Another new feature is that member profiles will now have the ability to have custom url’s like people.tribe.net/scottbeale. Now you can instantly create your own website using Tribe.net with minimal effort. Kudos to Elliot, Gary and the rest of the Tribe.net design and development team.
To celebrate Tribe25, Tribe.net is throwing a party on Thursday, June 30th at 1015 Folsom in San Francisco starting at 7:30pm. Admission is free for Tribe.net members and it’s free to join Tribe.net. One of the performers at this event will be Laughing Squid favorite and fellow Tribe25′er Will Franken, who is without a doubt one of San Francisco’s most hilarious performers.
