Web 2.0 looking pretty juicy

TribeWanted, Adventure island paradise

Adventure IslandSocial communities are popping up all over the web here is one that really takes it to a new level. The idea seems to be that they have leased out an island in Fiji for 3 years. They are creating a community where members can stay on the island for a few weeks some time in the 3 year period. Only 100 of the eventually 5000 will be on the island at one time. If you go early on in the 3 years you will be part of the team that builds the tribe infrastructure and may be living a bit rough. The idea being hopefully near the end you’d have beds and loads of other amenities. Personally i think I’d go for the beginning of the trip myself, the idea of building something like this definitely appeals to me.

They have over 4 thousand at the time of writing so it’ll be booked out pretty quickly. It looks like they are have a very up to date website encouraging the community to communicate all the time presumable to get a great enthusiasm about the whole project along with its own television station.

pretty islandTiming doesn’t work out for me but in a few years something like this would be my idea of a great experience. Should be interesting to see if some copy cat adventures pop up.

Would this appeal to you over a standard sun holiday?

    I’d definitely give it serious thought. Though, like you, now wouldn’t be the right time.

    An interesting concept no doubt about it and one I find very appealing, its sounds like your timesharing a whole island - ill certainly take a look at the site.

    I wonder how many similar schemes exist already? Certainly the last comment raises some interesting questions about the legitimacy of this particular scheme.
