Software Tribes is a newly launched social network that allows software engineers to collaborate with each other through a Twitter-like interface by posting an update, i.e. “What’s up?”

Currently in public beta, which mean software professionals can register an account with a professional purpose. Since Software Tribes is dubbed as a micro-blogging network for software professionals, therefore provided a place that enable this niche group of software professionals to meetup with each other, find projects, share knowledge and also join the groups in their area of interests or specialties. In the meantime, there are many groups be created, but the top group TIBCO, created for the discussion of TIBCO Software Inc., a company that specialize in helping companies achieve service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) success apparently has only less than 20 members.

On the public timeline of Software Tribes, there aren’t many users engage in the threaded conversations as the number of active users on Software Tribes is still relatively small. For the time being, most of the users are based in India as the creator is from Hyderabad, India as well. However, it would be interested to come back to this new micro blogging service and check the growth rate of its user base when it slowly expand to other countries.
