Update: I've just received my invite. I'm member #505 of Seth Godin's Triiibe on Ning. Not sure why there are three "i's" but looks good.
You've got until 11 AM Eastern July 30, 2008. Follow Seth's instructions here. As I understand it, you need to pre-order his new book: Tribes: We Need You To Lead Us, to be published in October. Forward the email receipt to him. Then wait for your exclusive invite. As always with Seth, this is clever. Scarcity creates urgency: gotta have it! Hope I get one...
As he explains it:
This online community will live on a site we've created that will feature blogs, forums, social networking, comments, photos, videos and a job board. And it's by invitation only until October. Spots are limited and early members get privileges and bragging rights.
Members get a password and the privilege of meeting each other, posting thoughts, connecting to big ideas or projects and more. The site will include excerpts from the book as well as a chance to contribute to a new jointly-authored ebook, with full credit and links to the contributors. The contents of the tribe forum won't be posted to the public until October, so it's really the only way to participate until then.

Hi Debbie, I have just read Meatball Sundae by Seth Godin and it was an excellant read, he has now made my Google Reader list :) I see by cutting off supply he is creating demand for his new book!

Debbie—you are #505? It looks like you got in ‘early’ to have such a high number. I missed the initial cut and alas, am still awaiting word to see if I can get in 8/05/08 am. My book has been ordered from Amazon and I’ve received followup notification from Amazon that the book will be shipped earlier than previously anticipated.
I’m hoping to be a participant in the triibe.

Wow, I’m really looking forward to this book. Sounds totally amazing.
