If you guys noticed my post earlier this week about how/what designers use to keep, collect, organize their inspirations, designs, etc - I was tribe-sourcing requirements and specifications from all of you - and I will be using it for something I am sketching.
Thanks for that guys :-) BTW: because IxDA is a tribe and not a crowd, that is why I use one term over the other. We have a shared context, we have a community, a language, we have leaders (community, list, local - in varying capacity). Mobs and crows don't have any of those things which is why their behavior is unpredictable and their dynamics chaotic. Think about the difference between an Obama rally (a tribe), and a Palin rally (a mob) - the differences are huge - one motivated by shared goals and purpose under guiding leadership - the other a cult of personality motivated by fear. Very different things. Back to the point - tribe-sourcing can be very powerful if it's within a certain context, has rules for engagement, leadership and goals. my 2 yen.
