NEW SOCIAL NETWORKS BRINGS CULTURALLY CURIOUS TO THE ROOT OF AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES
WEB INNOVATION TO IMPACT MORE THAN 130 MILLION PEOPLE WORLD WIDE
(New York, NY – August 6, 2008) – Immediate gratification now belongs to the world of the “culturally curious” thanks to the internet’s newest address, Tribefly.com, the brainchild of Emerging Media Ventures, LLC and founder Marc Edwards. This phenomenon, launched on June 17, 2008 as a first-of-its-kind social network provides this active audience with the ability to exchange user generated content of “Authentic Cultural Experiences” reflecting a plethora of ethnicities and geography steeped in history, tradition and human discovery.
Marc Edwards sums up Tribefly by asking, “Has your curiosity taken you somewhere near or far? Have you dined at a restaurant and heard appealing ambient music in the background, tasted a new dish or perhaps on whim, seen an independent movie at a one-screen theater that you really enjoyed but didn’t know how to reconnect with it when you returned home? Or perhaps you’ve traveled abroad and wanted to know where to experience the true flavor of the country but didn’t know where to start or who to ask other than the hotel concierge? While the passion and demand for authentic cultural experiences is abundant, access to information is not readily available. Well Tribefly.com is where you can now go to discover the where, how and who!”
Offering a roadmap to explore “off the beat” destinations and activities from all corners of the globe, Tribefly.com highlights four Feature Experience Categories: World Travel, Art House Cinema, Emerging Music and Eclectic Cuisine. Users or “Tribeflies,” as they are called will have the ability to share video content of their travel experiences both domestically and abroad, upload links and audio samples of their favorite music artists, create and contribute to blogs about eclectic recipes, make restaurant recommendations for undiscovered culinary jewels, and share submissions for short films and other art-house cinema content.
In addition to satisfying their cultural appetites, Tribeflies will have the ability to link to the websites of credible, globally respected charitable organizations throughout the health, environmental and social realm. This opportunity was deemed particularly important by Tribefly founder Marc Edwards and the original Tribefly think-tank members: Kevin Greenstein and Eric Liley, all seasoned veterans of the TV, music and online space. They recognized from the onset that the Tribefly mindset tends to not only value true cultural emersion through music, film, food, and travel, but also places a high value on humanitarian aid, social awareness and activism.
