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?

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. :)

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!

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?

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. :yuno: Thing is glitchy...couldn't use my phone to modify settings, or login using another FB registration...

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.

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.

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 ;)

Always interesting when a new digital medium is out there who knows where it will fly or fail.
