This is from a National Geographic article concerning a tourism venture called Tribewanted .”He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message from his friend Mark James popped up, and Keene did a double take at the subject line: ‘A TRIBE IS WANTED”.Keene and James, both 26, had been brainstorming ideas for an Internet start-up,and Keene was used to receiving email messages full of improbable schemes from his friend. The business plan outlined in the current message didn’t disappoint: We will establish an online community and call it a tribe, James had written. Members will create profiles, post photos, and chat online–the usual stuff–and then do something with no known precedent in the history of the Internet: The virtual tribe will become a real one.We will travel to a desert island, James wrote, and form a partnership with an indigenous tribe. We will build an environmentally friendly tourist facility and show it off to the world as a model of low-impact development.”
