Do You Wish You Could Drive Your Blogging on Steroids? Try Triberr Today.
What is most interesting about Triberr is the friendly approach of its creators Dino Dogan and Dan Cristowho understand the pain and peril of bloggers and are willing to help. A lot of what they have put together and are giving away could be highly commercialised, yet Triberr offers all of those to needy bloggers, in the warmth of a tribe around a bonfire.
This is not to say that everyone you meet there has given up his or her nasty and selfish human streaks to become a friendly tribal.
To put it bluntly and to save a lot of words, Triberr adds the power of Multi Level Marketing to your blog. But the comparison ends there because Triberr has none of the 'shades' of the "dirty picture" MLM is associated with. If you rush to join Triberr hoping to make a quick buck or a Platinum membership you will be thoroughly disappointed.
In fact Triberr imbibes the most natural process of "survival of the fittest" by bringing the best ofcontent to widest of audience by personal endorsement, a process millions of bloggers who have no access to financial or other resources to publish their material, hope existed.
Triberr is organised around a theme of tribes, so you come across strange sounding terms like, tribes, bones, bonfire and so on which are all synonyms for popular terms on the social web you know about. There is excellent explanation of all of these on Triberr.
Despite the complex appearance, reaping the benefits from Triberr is simple for bloggers who are already active on the social web with membership of Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and StumbleUpon. Triberr brings you a stream of blog posts of other bloggers whose groups you join or who join your group, as and when they are posted on the individual blogs. You can curate and approve the posts you like, which will then be broadcast to your followers in a scheduled and systematic way.
Naturally, your personal stamp ensures that the content you recommend is really worth it for your followers to spread the word.
Triberr is still under development and all of its potential power is yet to be realised. For now you can schedule your tweets about an approved post, but you must post manually to Facebook, Google+ and StumbleUpon.
Some of its very interesting features are currently available only through Triberr Wordpress plugin and only for self hosted Wordpress accounts. These include reading the posts and commenting within Triberr before you approve or ignore the posts. A floating comment system lets you comment instantly. The reblog facility allowing you to import a post in to your blog, with all accreditation in tact, makes guest posting very easy. This feature can get your posts published in endless number of blogs if you are lucky, much like a syndicated news item.
However, the branding feature for the Tweets you send out from Triberr, available now, is the best of the freebees Triberr offers to bloggers. This allows you to insert a link to your blog in every tweet you send out increasing the link density vital for SEO.
There is also a facility to "push" a worthy post, approved by Triberr, to the type of audience you decide for a payment. You can also earn points for marking posts good or bad which can offset what you spend.
Most important is the system is entirely transparent with each triber's status accessible to all members, also with access to Google analytics of clicks on individual posts.
If all of these sound very technical, there is plenty of help available. Every aspect of the process isexplained through info graphics in simple terms and step by step instructions.
One thing you don't get with Triberr is instant success or recognition. You get attached to a tribe you can choose from a list when you join, but membership of a tribe is only by invitation. You can create any number of your own groups and invite other bloggers to join. The forums offer possibilities to get invited and invite others but this is no sure way of getting other bloggers in your group.
Still, if you care about your blog and quality content, Triberr is the best platform today to help you achieve popularity for your blog, like steroids for athletes and body builders. Unlike steroids, Triberr is entirely legal.

If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Google and Facebook.
The office of the prime minister
(PMO) of India, the biggest democratic
country, with a population of 1.3 billion people, has at last opened
an account on Twitter and announced its
decision today to join Facebook, following the old saying if
you can’t beat them join them.
Dr Man Mohan Singh, a renowned
economist and India ’s
Prime Minister believes in relentless handwork and action aimed at India ’s
economic growth despite its obstructive
political environment and is a man of few words. He was subjected to severe
criticism for the silence he maintains on controversial issues, especially the
scams which have rocked his party’s second tenure in the governance of India .
Fed up with the abusive posts,
morphed pictures and all sorts of twisted and contorted facts and false
accusation which appear in the social web in the name of democratic freedom and
criticism, Man Mohan Singh seems to have given up and taken the bold step to
take the bull by the horns and use the social web to communicate and set things
straight.
The timing of the move by the PMO
is interesting. A junior court in India, where petitions were filed against
Google, Facebook and twenty odd social media companies for breech of infringement
of a law only enacted last year, making companies responsible for user content
posted on their websites, had warned of a crackdown "like
China" if they did not take steps to protect religious sensibilities.
Last month, the companies said it was
not possible for them to block content.
However, Google and Facebook removed
content from some Indian domain websites today, following a court directive
warning them severe restrictive action if not complied.
Though no one really thinks that India ,
with its democratic credentials will go to any extent its neighbour China
has gone to restrict the functioning of the social web, it looks like the
carrot and stick policy of the government is at last paying off.
By joining the networks, the
Prime Minister and his government is clearly showing that the Social web in India
is here to stay and will be an integral part of the democratic environment
likes the developed countries.
At the same time India has also
sent the right signals, through its administration and judicial system that it
is in no mood to tolerate and live with excessive and irresponsible use of the
social web and will look forward to exerting the same level of control over the
regular media, as a country with religious sensitivities and prone to violence.
In fairness to Dr Man Mohan Singh
and his office, whose priority was to fire fight various political and other
crisis over the last two years, having the fun of tweeting and posting updates
like many other world leaders and millions of ordinary citizens is a reward long
over due.

Can India Really Block Google And Facebook Without Banning Candles?
The simple answer, like in the case of China
is “yes”. However if the question is, can India afford to take such extreme
measures, the answer is likely to be “not really” because, simply put, India is
not same as China when democratic values are concerned.
Concerned with the rising and abusive character
assassination of the political leaders through morphed images and the dangers
of inflammatory posts in a religiously super sensitive nation, the flash points
of which the government has to strive very, very hard to keep from exploding,
the Indian government and now the Indian judiciary
have warned the Internet giants that they need to act.
Will The New Facebook Profile Make “Nostalgia” Disappear For Ever?
Last week Facebook started
rolling out the much anticipated updates which were to follow their substantial
revamp aimed at catching
up with Google+. The timing was just right to create the necessary uproar
and interest among its 800 million followers and the rest of the world and make
them ready for the quantum leaps Mark Zuckerberg was
about to announce during F8, the annual conference of Facebook developers.
In fact Facebook went ahead and
implemented the change to its news
updates a few of days back which in itself drew wild worldwide reactions.
Though there seemed to be wide
support (more than 2000 likes and 100 tweets as received by this innocuous
comment, which raised the author to a HuffPost Influencer status) for the
changes, there were also avalanches
of protests from disgruntled users who objected to Face book’s arbitrary
choice of what the user should see in the status update timeline. One survey
showed disastrous results.
The main changes announced
concerned how News Feed will act more like your own personal newspaper, and how
you won't have to worry about missing important stuff. Because all your news
will be in a single stream with the most interesting stories featured at the
top.
The other
most important feature was a new Twitter-like timeline called Ticker with real
time streaming of friends' activity like “likes” of an update, comments on a
post or subscribing to a page.
Though these innovations looked
nice, especially visually more appealing with larger photos and suited those
with a large number of friends or those who visited Facebook less often to
check friend’s updates, they seem to have incurred undue wrath of loyal
members, threatening to switch to Google+
The protests were surely
following a now familiar pattern:
“In the
history of Facebook changes, the pattern has typically been that users complain
loudly at first and threaten to
leave the site but then eventually learn to live with, if not
like, the new approach.”
However, Facebook has announced seven
important updates in the conference, of which the changes to the Profile
page seem to be the ones which will have far reaching consequences.
In a nutshell, the Facebook
Profile page is becoming your life story, your illustrated autobiography, a
chronicle in which everything you chose to appear right from your birth day,
everything you posted on Facebook reflecting your daily life and interaction
with those around you will be available to anyone who is allowed an access. The
whole information will be nicely indexed, year wise and moth wise for easy
access.
The social impact of such a
feature, available on the 800 million members and possibly billions who will
eventually join the network is, at the minimum mind boggling! We may bid good by
to “Nostalgia”, or the simple joy of
discovering a lost picture, for ever, because nothing is hidden farther from a
mouse click!

How Facebook Is Catching Up With GOOGLE+
A couple of months back, the attention was on the features
of Google+, the new Social Networking Site of Google, which were being sparingly
revealed to the world, much like a shrewd merchant revealing the end of the silk
he is holding out to the customer. Of course it succeeded in generating the
huge worldwide interest in Google+ and the phenomenal growth in its membership.
ComScore, a highly reputed business
analytics site reported that Google+ now has 25 million users while it took around
three years for Facebook and Twitter to achieve the same.
While the membership has no doubt shot up, it is not clear how the
users have accepted the features of the new
networking platform like Circles, Hangouts, Instant uploads, Sparks
and Huddles. Serious doubts
have been raised how useful and user
friendly they really are, despite the added
features Google introduced, leveraging on its own Browser, Chrome.
It was expected that Facebook
will inevitably introduce improvements to counter what Google would be offering
in the new platform. In fact over the course of the last three months it has
already silently introduced several small features and some important one like video chat
incorporating Skype.
However, the most important
improvement to the site which could counter the much tooted features of Google+
were announced only last week in the Facebook blog.
Unlike Google, Facebook has preferred to clearly explain the changes in very
simple ‘before’ and ‘after’ the change style, which everyone can understand and
are widely appreciated. Though there was favourable opinion from experts,
you could only palpate the richness of the goodies offered by Facebook only
since a couple of days. To be fair, they have turned out to be good stuff much
of the 750 million members of Facebook are going to like and appreciate.
The changes according to Facebook
in a nut shell are:
“A bunch
of improvements that make it easier to share posts, photos, tags and other
content with exactly the people you want, to make this more visual and
straightforward, bye moving most of your controls from a settings page to,
right next to the posts, photos and tags they affect. Plus there are several
other updates that will make it easier to understand who can see your stuff (or
your friends') in any context, organized around two areas: what shows up on
your profile and what happens when you share something new”
The beauty and simplicity of how
Facebook has gone about beating the circles of
GOOGLE + is by bringing everything you need to control your privacy in
to one simple circle and right where you need to apply them with the click of a
mouse.
At the heart of this clever
innovation is a drop down menu from which you can select the group of people or
person with whom you are going to share. This intuitive sharing engine is then
attached where it is required like your profile editing page in which it can be
applied to each of the menu item and your wall where you update your status and
share your media. The added bonus is the flexibility you get even to change the
sharing at a later date, if you change your mind.
This drop down menu undoubtedly
is a PLUS over Google+, in which you need to
pre select and compartmentalise your groups, who will receive different levels
of your favour and get to share what they deserve. To completely match the
segregation offered by Google+, Facebook will be expanding this over time to
include smaller groups of people like co-workers, Friend Lists you've created,
and Groups you're a member of.
Other
important changes include a button to show what your profile looked like to
others, another to add a location and tag the people you're with. You can add tags of your friends or anyone else
on Facebook and can review and approve or reject any tag someone tries
to add to your photos and posts..
