Congratulations to Stribe on their launch at TechCrunch50!

"Stribe is a plug and play service to instantly create a social network on any website"

Stribe empowers companies to quickly create a social network. The entire installation process only requires sites to add one new line of code to their pages. After that, the website will include:

o Customizable profiles including user-specfic photos, status updates and community information
o User modules to show who's online, and let users chat and send messages
o A public chat box where users can create new topics and share them with the community
o The ability for users to leave comments on every page
o A webmaster’s module to customize the features of the social network.

There are additional premium modules, such as back office functionality that allows websites to track key metrics of social activity and manage the online community. Stribe communities also share user information across different websites, so if a user belongs to five different Stribe communities, they will see messages and chat notifications from all of their communities wherever they log in.
