Triberr is putting authors first.
I spoke with Dino Dogan, founder of Triberr, while he was recovering from one of the toughest issues a tech start-up can face: server downtime. Triberr, the blog-sharing uber-machine, experienced a database issue during what was supposed to be a routine maintenance session, and ended up down for the better part of two days. One of the amazing aspects of the outage, aside from Dino's calm demeanor, was the simple outpouring of support from Triberr community members. With most other online services, where the users are free or paying, when there's an outage you can hear the outcry for miles around. Not so with Triberr, where the support flowed on the company blog post that was providing server updates, to Twitter and Facebook and Google+ updates from members, to full-blown blog posts from members talking about how great Triberr and the Triberr community are.
