Case Studies by the Triiibe

Seth Godin asked the members of his Triiibes community to write case studies about tribes, in order to create an awesome companion ebook to his book, Tribes, which was released on October 16th, 2008.

I found myself yearning for a place to collect Triiibes members' reflections and introductions to the ebook, as it is an incredible and moving project for us to have had the opportunity to participate in. I was going to make a list on my blog, but then I remembered: Squidoo does this the best!

If you haven't seen the Tribes Casebook yet, you can download it for free from Seth's site, right here!
