Review: Tribe

The newest addition to the Open Networkers family can be found on Tribe.net: Here is the direct link: http://tribes.tribe.net/opennetworkers Tribe.net is one the very best networking portals which has everything you need, including a very good Google-ability for your online Tribe messages and profile. Recently they have added some interesting features to their portal which include portlets, easy special interest group building and rich content sharing. You can also add a special interest group, which is exactly what I have done for the Open Networkers, and use a great number of features to add content to that group. The best thing is that the group discussions are xml->RSS enabled, so you can add feeds to e.g. Plaxo, Ning or CollectiveX. I noticed that the content you add to Tribe (such as your profile or your message) gets indexed and found by Google very decently. Furthermore, the site is very responsive, searches are very quick indeed.
