forgotten in the jungles of the Internet. The announcement was made by individuals close to the company. The deal will allow Cisco Systems to gain a technology with the help of which several large companies will be able to develop MySpace or YouTube - like services. This will allow bringing their clients together on-line. The deal is considered unusual since it is rather odd to see a company with about 38,000 employees that provides networking equipment for big enterprises to buy Tribe.net, which is owned by a company of eight employees.
Tribe.net has been pushed aside by such giants like MySpace and Facebook.If Cisco acquires Tribe.net it will continue its way to become a consumer-oriented company. The company looks further to the days when consumers spend most of their time in on-line communities.
