A personal publishing service targeting 'people who are too busy to blog' aims to become a Myspace for adults.
Etribes allows you to create, at the push of a button, a web page on which you can to post news and pictures for friends and family – or, if you wish, anyone who cares to visit.
Founder Simon Grice believes there is an 'e-generation' of people who have grown up with technology and are not intimated by it, but who are too busy to maintain a blog.
He adds hastily, careful not to limit his market: "Of course, a lot of older people embrace technology too and I think they are also part of the e-generation."
He recokons around five million people in Britain would like an easy way to share news and pictures with their 'tribe' of friends, family and colleagues.
The service costs £2 a month, but for that you get 20 free text messages which can be typed in at a PC. You also get 10GB of storage space and an etribes web address.
