Examples of tribes ? Well facebooks groups for exemple are interesting. People join together, they have a leader, a chief, administrators and members and they make a group to defend a style, a point of view or enjoying together an event on the web or elsewhere... Bloggers ofter do kinds of groups to increase their power in the blogosphere as well... I think, artists on myspace or experiencing something very tribal, since they put on their space, a link to related spaces. In the end you can surf in a cloud of people that describes a kind of universe or culture. It could be seen as a tribe. @Elsie :Thanx for your comment. Examples of tribes ?

Your idea of how it could make people more tolerant is interesting also, optimistic also... It is true that it could help us see people in a different light, if we pay attention and spend time looking at who is connected with who and who your friend's friends are... Will that make people more tolerant? I also think that GenY is probably affected in different ways than older generations... GenY is growing up in a world where the availability of this information is normal... And this no doubt defines in a new way the limits of privacy... Do you have any current examples on the tribes idea? Or any concrete example that would lead to the tribe idea that you describe ? I would be interested if you developed that idea by giving a few examples... Thanks... A bientot, Elsie H. Hi Francois,
