Tribe is back to focusing on adults
"...as of today jan and the board are gone. i've taken over tribe and you're going to see big changes fast like getting rid of this big stupid masthead and returning tribe to the users where it belongs."
Tribe has struggled of late. Like Friendster, it was early to the game, and struggled to find a business model.
Mark says he is the only board member, and is in full control and will be taking Tribe in "a new direction." He said there are many real "communities" of people that reside on Tribe, and it is important to him that they be served. Like Friendster, Tribe will focus on grownups, in contrast to the teens on MySpace. "Tribe has always been an alternative place for grownups to network," he said. He said Tribe "hasn't innovated on that concept in a year and a half." Still, Mark is holding his cards close to his chest. He and six engineers have worked on a business plan since May. He doesn't have any marketing, sales or administration folks.
