ClickZ reports that a source inside NBC Universal describes the price, of either the company as a whole or Tribe.net’s back-end technology infrastructure, at “well under $5 million”. Your suggested “$50 million” price tag is grossly overstated. Perhaps that’s what a more popular site such as TagWorld or Tagged might sell for, but a has-been like Tribe.net, no way. I tend to believe Tribe.net will sell for $5 million or less.

The report (http://www.clic...cle.php/3618661) also suggests it’s far from a done deal. NBC Universal is only conducting its due diligence, as backed up by your above linked Valleywag story. It may well decide to take a pass, move on, and find the next social networking fish about to lay dead on the information superhighway, rotting in the hot summer’s sun.

Cheers,
Doug

When did they implement a site re design? I guess it has been a long time since I have been on tribe.

Does anyone know how well the other NBC sites are doing? If the deal-size is small, it may be a good thing for NBC, becuase they probably can entice audience from thier other site, iVillage, and TV to start using social networking.

I like the YouTube move, but pretty late to the game.

I have not looked at Tribe in some time. But now that I looked at it I think the site usership has shrunk even more. I could be wrong on this. Alexa numbers are very impressive.

[...] It has now been confirmed that NBC will buy the Canadian social networking website, Tribe.com. It is estimated the sale will cost NBC up to $50 million USD. NBC will utilize Tribe.com to power its low-tech women’s networking site iVillage, which too was acquired earlier this year for $600 million USD.

I think this is a weak bid for NBC to get into the ’social network area’ and stay on par with the other networks. They are simply copying FOX, which provides the necessary justification.

Tribe is not a leading social network and has a huge uphill battle to become one. I think a better acquisition would be hi5, Xanga, or even Friendster, simply due to their size and reach. Facebook would be even more ideal, but their asking price is ridiculous.

I think this area is played out and the valuations are way too high. A more niche approach may decrease reach, but more than likely provide a better ROI.

Tribe has been nearly stagnant in terms of reach, appeal, and functionality for a while…I imagine that NBC is buying the platform and the engineers more so than a social networking destination. It’ll be interesting to see how they deploy it.
