Abstract
Until now, all the networks that we have examined are based on direct ties. That is, the social ties connecting the actors in the social network have been confirmed through self-report, direct observation, or some other type of data collection that tells us how actors are directly connected to one another.
A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate. ( Seth Godin – Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us)
