Okay, the burning questions here are who gets immunity? Who gets voted out? Who wants to eat live grubworms? Go, tribe Mefi! Eh, just kidding - but really, what are we doing here? I think that the tribe can be useful for asking advice and getting help, but the problem is that there might be some questions that are better asked anonymously. This could be anything from "looking for a new job" to quandries that involve very personal details. I have a couple of ideas about how we could address this, if we decide that this space is going in the help/advice direction.
Other than that? We can always swap Mefi gossip that really shouldn't be on Metatalk, and we can be very silly, which we do on Metatalk and then feel guilty over. We could link to sites that we think wouldn't make really good Mefi posts, but we still want to share. (I don't know. What do people normally do in these sorts of venues? I feel like the bride that went directly from her father's house to her husband's house - I've never been involved in any other community than Mefi-straightup.) Of course, we could do all these things, and more, but without the option to create categories, it's all going to be very higgledy-piggledy, no?

Re: Eating Worms
Thu, August 7, 2003 - 8:37 AMIf you're looking for a job (or some-such), you can make an anonymous LISTING... and post it either to the tribe, or to the entire TRIBE.net family.
As for the rest... we'll gossip, we'll get all those questions answered that never got answered (or asked) in Metatalk, we'll shill for our personal projects to be made into FPPs over at the Mother Site, we'll probably even use this site to organize meet-ups.
As for category creation... what are your ideas? We could pass these along to the powers that be! -

Category Ideas
Fri, August 8, 2003 - 12:33 AMsome thoughts on categories: help/advice; links of interest; gossip; tribe-related; showing off (for our personal projects, sites, etc.); meetups. Other possibilities are invitations; news; sharing (could be a place to share a groovy new recipe, product, downloadable X, whatever); media. (??? Profit!)
just off the top of my pointy head. More?

Re: Eating Worms
Thu, August 7, 2003 - 10:28 AMWell, having no shame *ahem* and also being awake *ahemahem*, I think this place is gonna be a neat way to get to know fellow MeFites in a way that MeFi itself or #mefi cannot. Sooner or later I'll see you all naked. You know it. Don't fight it. Being bad feels pretty good.
Aside from that, as long as we acknowledge our mutual respect and tolerance for one another, the sky's the limit. -

Re: Eating Worms
Thu, August 7, 2003 - 7:59 PMWell, higgledy-piggledy is good, and so are brides, and so is MeFi. Other than that, I have no bright ideas to contribute at the moment, but I do have a burning desire (hush now, WolfDaddy) to find out if I can finally make this thing work. I've logged in, I can see messages, now let's see what happens when I hit Submit. Submit! -
