TRIBE WANTED: MY ADVENTURE ON PARADISE OR BUST

Book ID/图书代码： 11340007B18216

English Summary/英文概要： Two twenty something ex students Ben and Mark had an idea...having watched the success of community website like My Space they wondered if you could harness the energy of an online community to effect change in the real world. What if they put a website in charge of developing an eco tourism project on a desert island? The idea snowballed. A chance airport meeting led to Fiji where they met a local tribal leader, impressed by Ben and Mark’s vision, and sharing their belief in the benefits of sustainable tourism he decided to take a chance on them and agreed to lease them an island. Next they designed a website and called it Tribewanted. Tribewanted was picked up by newspapers and TV around the globe. Within weeks people from 35 countries had signed up to join the tribe. Within six months of having the initial idea the first members of the tribe arrived on the island in Fiji and started constructing a thatched roofed Burre - a Fijian style barn that was to be the first building on the island. On the website members of the tribe argued passionately about what direction the project should take and voted on every major decision. The success of the project is now in the hands of the members of the tribe. Will they pull together and make it work? It is now a major 5 part series for transmission on BBC2 next Autumn. The book will be written in diary style by Ben and Mark and follows their lives over the course of the first 18 months of the project.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 被通缉的部落：行走在天堂或者破产的历程是：My Space等公共网站的成功给了本和迈克灵感。能否借网上社团的力量给现实社会带来变化呢？他们有了一个主意：建一个网站，负责在一个荒废的岛屿上开展生态旅游。这个想法慢慢膨胀起来。一次偶然的机会，他们来到了斐济，遇到了当地的部落首领。在发展可持续旅游业的想法上，他们不谋而合。最后，部落首领被本和迈克的设想打动了，同意租给他们一块岛屿。然后，本和迈克建立一个网站，取名为“部落招聘”。全球的报纸和电视争相报道这个网站。在一周内，来自35个国家的人加盟。六个月后，部落的第一批成员到达了斐济的那个岛屿，开始建筑一种斐济独特的房屋。在网站上，部落成员们积极的讨论着这个项目应该如何开展，对于每一个重大决定，他们都投票决定。这个项目的成败现在完全取决于部落的成员。那么，他们会齐心协力让美梦成真吗？明年秋天BBC2将转播这个由五部分组成的节目。这本书是本和迈克写的日记，记录了他们在实施这个项目的前18个月的生活。
