Tribewanted.com: Online Recruitment to a Wild Tribe
On September 1, 2006, the first group of volunteers will arrive at their new place of residence - an island in the Fiji archipelago. A total of five thousand people must form a new tribe, which will inhabit the uninhabited territory. The set in a tribe goes through the Internet.
The original project Tribewanted.com , one might say, is a kind of reality TV, but only a new generation. Previously, everything was extremely simple, for example, in the show The Last Hero, a small group of people settled on a desert island and lived under the watchful eye of television cameras, gradually expelling members of the "tribe" from their ranks. This is a typical television show, which differs from the usual studio production unless the place of filming.
The project Tribewanted.com is conceived as a much more complex and large-scale action, created not at all according to the laws of the television genre. It’s not for nothing that the site where a new tribe is being recruited (less than 4,500 vacancies are left) is immediately reported: this is NOT reality TV, this is real life.

The essence of the idea: five thousand people join the online community on the site Tribewanted.com. All these people pay membership fees ($ 220 for 1 year) and are officially considered residents of the island. They communicate with each other online, choose 12 foremen of the tribe (as part of the election campaign, you can publish one 60-second advertising video), solve current issues on the organization of the life of the tribe.
Each resident of the island has the right to visit his “place of residence” for several days a year, depending on his status in the tribe. With five thousand "natives" on the island is always someone will be. In other words, the project Tribewanted.com is a unique social experiment for creating a virtual community of a new type. Or, if you want, to create a utopia. A kind of paradise on Earth, where every inhabitant of a huge tribe scattered all over the planet dreams of disappearing at least for a day (see advertising video ).
It is planned that this social experiment will continue for at least several years. Perhaps much longer. It is possible that the number of participants in the virtual community can grow many times. What will happen on the island after decades, what kind of society is formed there is difficult to imagine.
