Nope. I see

"BUDGET CONSCIOUS RALLY OPTIONS

2WD WITH CHEAP AND PLENTIFUL SHELLS AND PARTS ARE CRITICAL TO GETTING ON STAGE IN A COST EFFECTIVE MANNER"

but can't read any of it without logging in.

In reply to captdownshift:

I see a title page and what looks like an article title "Budget conscious rally options" but clicking anything takes me to the login. So... your stuff is paywalled. Maybe there are some settings for publishing? I can't imagine any platform for blogging today would only have private publishing.

In reply to Huckleberry:

I wouldn't be surprised if they force membership to join even to view. I'll work on mirroring my content onto my personal site this week and post a link once I've done so.

Cool.

Interested untill...FaceBalls. Nope.

In reply to Appleseed:

I believe that you can join without facebook as long as you have them email you an activation link that you have to respond to via email. I know that when I logged in from my phone that facebook wasn't used, but I had to click through a link emailed to my gmail.

I logged in on my lunch break. There was a link in my email to log in without Facebook but I was lazy so I went with the Facebook button

Hmm...might check it out.

Video content should be up on my Drivetribe in an hour or so. Turns out my production techniques are better than expected.

I have consistently discovered the converse to be true in my work.

In reply to G_Body_Man:

I look forward to it, too many tribe leaders are treating it like instagram 2.0, if I wanted instagram I'd log onto it more than once a month.

I asked a couple of the Drivetribe guys (pros who write for the site) about monetization. They're not sure how anyone would make money at it, but they already don't know how people make money at Instagram

In reply to Keith Tanner:

I believe that consist of PayPal in exchange for skype/gchat or kik. Not sure how that'll play on drive tribe

Drivetribe upload is a bit slow, probably launching 15 minutes or so after the Youtube upload.

Uploaded to Youtube, Drivetribe upload is going to take a while.

I haven't looked at this yet, but the Evo club I am a member of (New England Evo) created a Drive Tribe page.

I noticed there wasn't a tribe established for Project Cars last night, so I had to fix that this morning.

This could be one of the most GRM tribes there, until someone creates a challenge tribe

So...for us who don't have Facebook and never will, how can we use it?

There is an access code on the Twitter now. I can't figure out copy and paste from there.

joined... got an invite. I opened a "tribe" too... "Porting Perfection"

Access code: 906488GTB.

So why would I want to use this instead of posting videos to youtube and pictures to instagram, and using wheelwell?

I think it is an interesting concept. I started a Tribe for Turbo Fords so the ST, RS and Ecoboost cars would be represented. Come on over and join me so I get get enough followers to become "legit". Turbo Fords United
