SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

(2008-Nov-10) -- Utah Street Networks and New Systems Associates today entered into an operating agreement to manage www.tribe.net [Tribe.net, one of the first social networking sites], add competitive social networking features to the site, and revitalize the Tribe community.

The first priorities for New Systems Associates are to stabilize the platform and improve the site's performance. To accomplish these goals, the company is committing substantial resources to upgrade Tribe's hardware and application. The hardware migration will begin immediately, resulting in better performance and stability users expect from a world-class social network. New Systems Associates will also add new features to improve connections within the Tribe community and to other social networks and widgets.

In the longer term, New Systems Associates will grow the Tribe community by developing features including advanced privacy features, profile control, regional relevancy, personal discovery, and free-range connectivity. The company is committed to strengthening Tribe's alternative community and the unique ways in which users interact.

"This is nothing but good news for the Tribe.net community," said Darren Mckeeman, Tribe.net's IT Director. "New Systems Associates will inject sorely needed resources and manpower into the management and everyday operation of Tribe.net. They will develop the site along the growth path that has already been established."

Utah Street Networks, Inc. is the owner of Tribe.net, one of the oldest social networking sites on the Internet and pioneers of social graphing.

New Systems Associates is an LLC formed by long-time Tribe members who believe in protecting and expanding Tribe's unique culture.
