I don't know if its a compliments that people are following that ways of aboriginal peoples or if its a insult. what is a tribe a tribe consist of like mined people living in a community that is there home so what is a cyber tribe? a community that deals in the same aspect of business on the internet? how are they structured do they have a leadership base do they have a counsel?
Cyber tribes what a concepts in the video below you will get some understanding about my thoughts on it, But tribes tend to follow the same leadership, spirituality ideas and focus on what is the best thing for the group not just certain members of the group. Now this idea has been passed down through the century's and its now coming back to REAL Aboriginal Tribes so to use it for a marketing ploy I am not sure How I feel about it. if its to do with like minded people banding together to complete a common task I guess maybe in cyber space that fits the title of Tribe.
