Very cool new social software app: Tribe.net

If you've been exploring social networking software services like Friendster lately, check out Tribe.net. I just learned this weekend that an old friend and former colleague, Brian Lawler, is part of the dev team… very nice UI on this thing, and seems to facilitate certain kinds of interaction (read: non-gonad-driven) more elegantly than some of the other services out there right now. They're still in beta, but they say they hope to move into general release relatively shortly. So far, I'm liking it a lot. Not ditching my Friendster account anytime soon, though. Where else online could I schmooze with Satan, Carbohydrates, Mister Roboto, and vast legions of Goth/Burningman/Straightedge twentysomething hotties, all under one roof? Wait, don't answer that.
