Back at Tribe

so this is a little late as the blog world caught my post on tribe thursday night. but for anyone out there who doesnt read techcrunch, fred wilson or silicon beat, yes i have stepped back in at tribe. i believe in brian lawler and the team. i also believe that we're still at early stages for social media. i'm excited about the opportunity to continue working on making social media more useful for people.

it's also important to many of us to keep tribe the community running and vibrant. on the eve of burning man, the greatest live community event, it's nice to know that tribe, one of the important sites around this event, will be sticking around too.

i'll be at burning man as of tuesday, camping at the deepend (9:30 and faith). come by one afternoon and if i'm bartending, i'll serve you a drink.
