Cisco acquires technology and staff of social networking site Tribe.net?
March 07, 2007
Curious moves by Cisco... they just announced the acquistion of the technology behind the Tribe.net social networking site. The deal does not include the actual Tribe.net site but includes the technology and the developers responsible for the site. Given that just last month Cisco announced the acquisition of FiveAcross, it is pretty clear they have visions of some role for social networking within the broader portfolio. This NetworkWorld update has more analysis (including the comment that Cisco should just buy Second Life developer Linden Labs... methinks the Lindens have probably had all sorts of offers!)
