Tribe News
Sun, March 4, 2007 - 4:17 PMsome of you may have noticed a story in yesterday's nytimes (front page biz setion) about cisco buying part of tribe. while i cant provide more detail yet, i can assure everyone that cisco is not buying the tribe.net site, which will continue to run independently.
i'm excited that tribe is one step closer to a sustained future. the next one is to be cashflow breakeven which is close too.
pls email me with any questions or post comments here.

Hi Marc -- wow, that's great news!
So are you licensing the underlying software platform to Cisco or are they buying it outright and then you are cross-licensing to keep running Tribe? Or neither? Are they integrating it (somehow?) with 5 Across? I am sure I'll find out more soon when it is formally announced, but was just curious. :) |

We can't be sold..
but we won't be shocked and appalled by someone who wants to help with infrastructure. That would be wrong. Good luck Mark. Wwe're all depending on your good sense... Peace. |

Congratulations!
I want to thank you for Tribe, I think Tribe is wonderful. I have met many cool people, made friends, gone to great events and learned a lot through Tribe. I think it's the best of all of these type of sites. Ann |

Congrats Marc. I read the Times article. If it keeps Tribe going, it sounds like a solid financial, strategic move.
Cheers! |

I always knew it.
When Reid Hoffman (of linkedin) asked for hot companies, I couldn't help but say you. ;) Even if that wasn't the most political thing to say. ;)

Supporting Tribe
Hi!
I don't want to see tribe go and would love to support it somehow. Is there anyway to set a fund up? I bet amny would be willing to pay $5 (just as an example) to have another option or just a "gold star" of some sort next to their name saying we supported tribe financially! Amity |
