I’d be interested to see what your take on this: www.tribewanted.com

Imagine having a unique influence in the creation of an ecological island community. Imagine being able to visit and stay on that island. Imagine playing an exclusive role in a history making adventure.

Stop imagining. Start believing.

Welcome to Adventure Island.

This is your chance to join a unique tribe and help build both an online and real-life community. It’s an opportunity to join a virtual meeting of minds that will generate a new kind of utopian existence, from the comfort of your own computer. As a tribal member you will have the chance to visit one of the most beautiful islands on earth, knowing you’ve contributed to the development of its ecological community. This is your moment to make history on a tiny ripple of rock, jungle and sand in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean.

This is not reality TV - this is real life. Be part of a real adventure. Join the tribe.

It is tribewanted’s aim to create a sustainable and ecological community on Adventure Island and to encourage tribe members to actively take part in this challenge.

Imagine, a week in Fiji… My first thought was “I’ve gotta do this,” since a) it doesn’t cost too much b) I’ve never been overseas c) I like the Survivor/Lost type aspects of it d) it seems like a really cool project and community in which to be involved and e) it would be a great way to meet new and a diverse group of people. Fiji!

However, the more that I’ve thought about it, the more iffy I am on how “legit” this is and if it would be as great of an opportunity as I think. The website and group of people behind the idea have gotten a lot of exposure around the world, which in turn decreases the chances of it being a scam, but something about it still isn’t sitting right with me.

Before you comment, be sure to read the FAQ and other portions of the website to get the whole picture, then feel free to leave me your thoughts.
