For example, while it doesn’t take a lot of ‘trust’ to follow you on Twitter, versus Facebook… I think that’s entirely because of the lessened amount of personal interaction, or ‘face to face,’ you are with the person on each network. Twitter, you barely see the person. Facebook, you see the person and tons of photos and their family and friends.

So rather than having a higher trust level there, you have a higher intimacy level. Although considering it, you actually have both…but I think it’s because of the higher amount of intimacy (face to face) that you have a higher level of trust.

Or it could also be past my bed time and I’m making no sense.

So, I think the G+/Twitter no-trust-needed model is WAY easier to manage from a people-perspective.

If we take the antithesis to no-trust model, i.e. Triberr, I get asked ALL THE TIME to implement technical features to solve, what are basically, human issues. G+ wont have to deal with this…I think. I hope…for their sake lol

I have to admit I did not think about the trust level broken down in these basic terms until now. Dammit Dino, stop making me think!! lol…

Thanks, Dino! Triberr is awesome. You are awesome. You’ve hit the nail on the head with this one, and I say fuck all the haters!

Dino, your explanation of the different levels of trust was great and will help people to understand.

Lauri’s say it with a KISS is perfect!

If you need that G+ invite, lemme know

Let’s just say you need a little love…

Tolerance, acceptance and openness are probably few of the other important factors. Knowing your tribesmates is paramount in all this.

The day I added +1 button it saw a lot of action. More than my SU button. 

Glad to see you here tho….whats shakin, did you get an invite to Triberr yet?

“Black Seo Guy “Signing Off”

Twitter is like a kiss that is thrown as one speeds by in a fabulous little sports car, light, fun and breezy.
Facebook is like a kiss on both cheeks that people of a certain society or culture bestow on friends or friends of friends. The kiss has an element of tradition. It’s based on a mutual understanding and similarity.
Linked In is the kiss you get from your elderly aunt, you know you need to do it but you hold your breath as you extend your cheek. While you like and appreciate her, you wonder how she got so old so quickly. 
Triberr is a real KISS. The kind that’s filled with emotion, passion and pleasure. There’s an element of temptation that let’s the receiver know there’s more on the way. With this kiss, the deeper you get the more that’s revealed. 

So, that’s what springs to mind after I watched your video. Nice job and very thought-provoking. Thanks

Now .. I think you have a huge point in bringing this trust factor up. You have those in social media that I call “collectors” and they are just out there to collect friends and numbers like that matter to them for some reason; however my take is that there is zero substance here. I having been toying with the idea of Google + and need to get a move on, but I was wondering about this “circle” thing and I think you state it best with “very interesting choice on Google’s part” hmm …

Now this bring us to the beloved Triberr and I think the trust and substance factor is HUGE here and why Triberr sets a different standard. I think as people realize how important trust really is, Triberr will be seen even more as a way of filtering the junk from the gems. I think I said this before here, so pardon the repeat if so, Triberr is like having someone in your home; you wouldn’t let just anyone in. We’re often judged by the company we keep, so there is a greater level of discernment here. If you care about your readers and following, then Triberr is really excellent. In an “add water” “I have 10,000 friends” world, it’s nice to think there’s a place in social media that makes you use more than your finger pressing a button to make you think.

Good thoughts to ponder here Dino – thank you!

Have an excellent day,

Elena

You should also publish this on the triberr blog.

Everyone:

Triberr is about trust. It’s also about your ability to make, build, and participate in worthwhile online relationships. If you don’t want online relationship, Triberr is going to challenge you. You will be afraid. You will be suspicious. You may even fear for your reputation. Bottom line, you will over-react. You will even be foolish and, perhaps, make noise. Sure, you may want the reach and step up. But at the cost of being in a relationship with others?! [grin]

Scary, huh?!

Nah. It’s what being human is all about. Janet Callaway has some pointers on her blog – if you need a little guidance.

Elsewhere, I’ve written (on a related subject):

One of the things that makes the Anubis tribe (a la Triberr) so awesome is the variety. I’m doing this with my Rockstar tribe. I welcome interesting people who write interesting things regardless of niche. http://triberr.com/blog/rockstars-and-chatlanians/

I’ve argued (gently) that this is the way forward. Curate people. Not topics. Not niche. It will enrichen you, your feed, and the people you are reaching. Just saying.
