99StockGT Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 With all of the buzz surrounding the launch of Grand Tour surprisingly not a lot of people have been noticing the launch this week of DriveTribe. Basically they are trying to make a more of a "one stop shop" for gearheads to post/share/gossip/bitch so figure it's something the CR folks would enjoy! Thoughts? Seeing this as an excellent way to share some of our projects and day to do happenings we've actually made our own tribe for the shop called Tales from the Shop, interested in following us? https://drivetribe.com/t/AE5ogh_mS5WMytnX07SdXw We have an exciting upcoming project from a CR member in the next couple weeks as well, in case anyone wants to see such a thing.

mrs.cos Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I signed up and have joined a bunch of tribes but haven't had time to really look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 So far seems a little like Facebook for gearheads. You have a feed of stories from your favorite tribes, then can jump in and read posts, comment, post. Thankfully it's a great place to hide from all the other BS of life and enjoy car/truck/jeep stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I set up a Cols Cars & Coffee DriveTribe, but I'm sitting on the "Complete the Registration Process" emails... Anyone want to play around with this on our group's behalf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 It doesn't look anything like youporn but with cars. Where is my Firebird money shot? Or Two girls one hyundai? I was so looking forward to the Subaru Casting Couch..... In all seriousness though, why does it use your FB login? is it really just a plug in for FB or is it stand alone?

zeitgeist57 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 The other Cars and Coffee launched theirs today I saw on FB. Slacker.... Sorry, not sorry...as the kids say. Social media ain't my thing. I got the email on 11/21 and tried to register, but it kept wanting to use my personal FB sign-in instead of the CC&C FB login. Walked away and never completed registration. Thing is glitchy...couldn't use my phone to modify settings, or login using another FB registration...

XOXO - Gossip Girl Already unsubscribed from the annoying barrage of emails I'm getting from DriveTribe anyway. Paul Milligan needs the social media feed anyway to stay alive.

99StockGT Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Unfortunately the FB login thing is becoming MORE of a norm versus less, helps people know they are talking to a "real" person versus some random forum troll... oh wait.. Anywho, been playing around on it for a few hours seems like a pretty decent idea. The ability to share your passions/thoughts/brain spasms with the world as a whole and generally anyone else on the interwebs can find it is kind of nice. There will be some bugs to work out for sure but so far not terrible. Should be interesting to see how they pay the bills on the site with ads and such. On the CC&C subject, definitely get something set up. Knocking out quick little 500 word blurbs with a couple of photos should be pretty easy.

Rally Pat Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 This is something that has been tried over and over and over again. Back in the day it was CarDomain, more recently it was Matt Farah's Wheelwell. Since this one has Jezza and Co behind it though, it might have some real power to stick around.

99StockGT Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well the kind of nice thing about is so far is you actually have to have some following before you can even have a voice on the site, a 1 man band can't have their own tribe and flood your feed. So that has certainly been a breath of fresh air, the people you are getting postings from have at like 9 other people who think they might have a semi-valuable thing to say.

Geeto67 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 So...how do you make a tribe? I signed up but it just looks like my FB profile. Also I joined your tribe Austin. Looked kind of sad with 1 member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 You have to get the founder +9 others in order to finalize the tribe and make it public, once it's public it can be found by the world at large. So right now trying to get lazy people to register and join yet ANOTHER site seems to be the challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
