TRIIIBES IS ONE

triiibes_blog_ring

One year ago today, Triiibes – the community Seth Godin conjured up, was formed.  It’s been indescribable being part of a community of people who are way smarter than me.  It was even nicer to meet a fellow Triiiber in person the other day.  Bernd was on his way back to Japan and we had a lovely conversation on an island in the middle of the Mississippi.  More on that later.  For now, Happy Birthday, Triiibes!

    I can’t imagine meeting ANYONE smarter than you!!! I’m afraid my head might explode if I did!!

    Can’t wait to read about your time with Mernd.

    Happy Birthday to Triiibes!
    I was in for awhile and then moved on, but the conversations rocked.

    I had never heard of Triibes, or of anyone smarter than you. Where have I been all my life?

    Cool to meet a blogging bud, I’ve not met ANY, even tho 3 live here in Austin.

    Hi Kathy – LOL swear to God, I had to pull back from it. Too many smart, fascinating people, and not too sure about what everyone was actually up to. Thanks.

    Hi Lori – I hear you. I still pop in to keep tabs on a certain few that I enjoy, but I’m spending way less time there than in the beginning. Thanks.

    Hi Jannie – Triiibes is a private community created by Seth Godin in consort with his book by the same name. Lots of very smart people in there, but also spending time in there kept me from doing other stuff. It was cool to meet Bernd, though. I will ask him for the photo of us. Thanks!

    Hi Betsy. Thank you for your time and courage. The video with us is on my blog (currently top) and the photos are on triiibes under the “Met!” discussion. My wife wants to know the gift basket company you built, she plans to use it.

    Hi Bernd – And thank you for arranging your schedule, too. The time tends to fill when one is traveling so I really appreciate it. I will email you the contact information – my successor can help personally. I will jump over to Triiibes to get the photos. Thanks again, it really was great, wasn’t it? And it never did rain. :D

    I too haven’t heard of Triibes. And I wouldn’t worry about the smarter thing, everyone is smarter than someone else in different fields and subjects (not to say you were worrying).

    Have you ever used Ning? If you created a private Master Mind group would Triiibes be a good place to do that or would Ning be better (if you know)? Thanks.

    Hi John – Yes, we all have our talents, don’t we? Yours are fabulous – I haven’t forgotten I owe you a testimonial. Thanks.

    Hi Internet Strategist – Welcome to PassingThru! Triiibes is a closed network that uses the Ning platform. I’m pretty familiar with Ning, although it does have a few annoying quirks. I’d say it’d be about as good as anything for what you propose. Thanks for stopping in and hope you stick around.
