"The 7 Biggest Internet Marketing Mistakes"
Playing on the word "tribe" to give the impression of a banding together within the blogging community, Triberr is making a splash, but is that a good thing or not? The underlying concept of this RSS system is to get more exposure for the small blogger, and that might be a good reason to try it.
The scenario is that you can join as many as four tribes. Members of your tribe tweet you, you tweet each of them, and it is all automatic. Triberr controls when you send and receive. A recent feature has been added to allow you to control somewhat the content you tweet, but the main heart of Triberr is the autopilot.
Is Triberr Reaching the Right Audience?
There is little reason to believe that Triberr doesn't get more exposure for bloggers. The main question is if links are to the right audience. The entire concept of blogging is to put content in front of the people receptive to it.
Most dedicated bloggers try to direct and use the content of others based on the goals and direction of their blogs. Is that being jeopardized by allowing someone to control what content is representing the blogger?
If you have other bloggers with whom you share material, you probably don't share all their content. As you may have seen from other blogs, not every post has relativity to what the intent of the blog was.
People can tend to ramble and go toward some other interest of theirs. So choosing what comments you would like to use is better than a service that blasts every post of someone else out to those who value your opinion.
Blog Control and Triberr
The value of the blog can become diminished when content is no longer controlled by the blog host. More information is not necessarily better when it becomes information you don't want to get. The internet is full of counter-information already. This is apparent by the number of emails that serve little more purpose other than the use of the time to send them to the wastebasket.
Nice Tweet, Short and Sweet
The days when recipients were so glad to get correspondence are over. People are more particular about the things they spend their time reading nowadays. They are much more interested in seeing a short tweet that lets them know something about a subject that might stir their interest than in reading an entire article to start with.
This is why surfers and regular bloggers find places they are comfortable with so they can devote their reading time to those posts. They don't need to filter through a lot of irrelevant content just to find a few small gems.
Whether Triberr maintains popularity or not will have a great deal to do with its ability to develop screening so that bloggers won't be concerned that they are represented in a different light than what they want to be. The more credible bloggers will be tentative in giving up the power of selection to someone who may not understand the purpose of their blogs.
Every business is different, and everyone uses social media in many numerous ways, which means while Triberr might be a great resource tool for some, it may not produce the same results for others, any more than social media does. A company needs to set its business objectives and then implement tools and resources that meet those goals.
