TribeIn.com - Take Your Discussions Home

TribeIn is a site dedicated to discussion. The idea behind TribeIn is that people would be more involved in exchanging their ideas with their friends and people they know, rather than with complete strangers. Thus with TribeIn you create your own discussion tribes. Invite your friends and family, pick a topic, any topic be it a Youtube video, politics or the latest Die Hard movie, and start conversing. Users can provide links and embedded videos for conversation fuel. Recent posts are shown on the homepage. Joining requires registration which shouldn’t take more than a few seconds. After that you’re free to discuss as you please.

“tribeIn lets you create topics which you can share and discuss with your friends.
Start by adding friends to your tribe. Then create topics which could be news, links, embedded videos or just what you are up to. Share topics with your tribe. Your friends can in turn share your topic with their tribe. Let your topic snowball and enjoy the discussion.”

TribeIn has potential. It’s true that many aren’t prompted to join in discussions because they aren’t really involved. At TribeIn, however, people should be more favorable to discuss because it’s more friendly. It involves people and topics you know.

How is TribeIn going to monetize this? Will there be private discussion groups? How is this any different from everything else? Why would people bring their discussions here, when there are myriads of social networks that offer the same thing?
