We're a Tribe!

Computers and the internet have given rise to a language of their own.  In many cases, common terms have been hijacked for cyberspace use.   Lots of folks under the age of 30ish can't write anything that doesn't look something like this: 

funny hw u just broke down and got a real facebook w your name, I was just reading your blogs last night bc I checked my email my yahoo acct n which I haven't done in awhile. I will msg u more later

By the way, that is a real facebook message (not even a text message because I don't have texting) I got a couple of days ago from my niece.  Drives me crazy that it's come to this.   I've had to defriend several of my nieces because they frustrate me so.  But I digress. 

Back to words before the computer.   There's a good illustration above.

One of my favorite new computer words is one I learned as I've been researching blogs and how to make them effective.   Around 2003, when blogs were first starting to gain popularity, someone started calling their followers their tribe.  Wikipedia (there's another weird internet word hijacked from encyclopedia I suppose) says the term tribe is used as a slang term for an unofficial community of people who share a common interest, and usually who are loosely affiliated with each other through social media or other internet mechanisms.  

So, I guess, because we're connected by this blog and we share the common interest of Woman 2 Woman, we've become a tribe.   

I don't know why, but I think that's funny.   So, how do we make this tribal affiliation work to W2W's benefit.   Any ideas?
