Is NBC still owned by GE? GE manufactures both nuke reactors and A-bombs; theyre one of the evilest corps on earth. they ARE the war machine... One might even suggest more evil than newscorp.

Uh, I don't know where you get your information about NBC owning Tribe.net

You have a source for that?

good point

if you google "tribe nbc" there are a lot of 1 year old blogs saying NBC is in talks to buy Tribe. but nothing from a standard mainstream news source and nothing that says the deal is done.

A quick reverse directory search shows the Tiburon address to be a retail and office complex. It houses everything from attornies to chocolate retailers. CT Corporation System is one of those "Incorporate for less than $500" deals. Hardly the approach an international corporation takes. Now let's look at who owns Utah Street Networks, Inc. Quick Googling:

"Cisco Systems has completed the purchase of select assets of privately-held Utah Street Networks, Inc., the operator of the social networking site Tribe.net. Utah Street Networks uses a proprietary software infrastructure to create and maintain online communities on the Tribe.net website. As part of the asset purchase, this software will be integrated into the Cisco Media Solutions Group (CMSG), which is focused on infrastructure products to help digital media content owners improve the consumer experience. Employees from Utah Street Networks, Inc. will also be joining Cisco to continue software development. Other terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Utah Street Networks technology and certain members of team will join CMSG led by Dan Scheinman, SVP and GM. The deal does not include the Tribe.net site, which will remain completely independent of Cisco."
