STRIBE

Stribe is a plug and play service to instantly create a social network on any website. Founded in March 2008, Stribe is based in San Francisco & Paris. Founders Kamel Zeroual, Gaël Delalleau and Demba Diallo released the service in September 2009 during TechCrunch50. Using easy copy-and-paste javascript, Stribe offers blog, casual gaming or even e-commerce site administrators the ability to create their own customizable, freely-branded social network for their sites. Through the Stribe... network service, a site’s community can interact on all Stribe-enabled sites, allowing members to stay connected with their “tribes” or online communities. Stribe engages site visitors instantly and allows social interactions after an easy 5-minutes plug-and-play registration and configuration process, which can be fully customized and freely branded. Stribe’s business model is based on selling premium modules including analytics such as the Stribe Back-Office, which provides all key metrics on the site’s community including social metrics, breakdown of users and their engagement times, comment analytics, metrics on ‘hidden activity’ including private chats and messages, and the community’s overall activity. Moving forward, the company plans to open its API for website developers and provides more and more premium modules.More
