I am a bit wary of Tribes / Communities / SMTs that might just end up walling off communities and building some little insular silos - as that would kill off any cross-pollination between the communities. I for one like to have a toe in a few communities at the same time using the one platform.

However, it is possible that an SMT could be good for SBC to create and control it's own reward system. SMTs are getting closer but I'd still be surprised if they hit production in the next 12 months.
