SoftwareTribes.com – Where Software Professionals Meet

SoftwareTribes.comIn a nutshell, Software Tribes is a social site where those who are software professionals can meet up and engage in conversation. The idea is to provide them with a space in which they can discuss every single thing appertaining to their profession, and also indulge into a bit of off-topic chatter so that bonds can be formed.

The site actually adheres to the micro-sharing philosophy, and each notice that is posted amounts to no more than 140 characters. The post are published within the public timeline which is found on the opening screen, and also to your friends and followers both directly and by RSS.

Those who sign up have the option to join a group from the many on offer, and these include “RedHat” and “Java” among others whose name I guess you can more or less imagine.

Obviously, specialized sites such as this one are not something that could attract a massive number of followers. They do, however, entice the ones they are aimed at greatly. And that is praiseworthy enough.

SoftwareTribes.com In Their Own Words

“Software Tribes is a microblogging service. Users post short (140 character) notices which are broadcast to their friends and fans using the Web, RSS, or instant messages.

If you’d like to try it out, first register a new account. Then, on the public timeline, enter your message into the textbox at the top of the page, and click “Send”. It will go out on the public timeline and to anyone who is subscribed to your notices (probably nobody, at first).

To subscribe to other people’s notifications, go to their profile page and click the “subscribe” button. They’ll get a notice that you’re now subscribed to their notifications, and, who knows?, they might subscribe back.”
