Do You Virb?

I have seen Virb around for a while. And seeing how much I hate myspace I never even gave it a shot. That was until tonight got swallowed up by 3 hours of playing around on it. The customization is legit. It is an all in one social networking site that looks like the guys up in Cupertino designed it.
Wow. It puts myspace to shame.
I am now a true fan. Come create a free profile and see for yourself.

Here is a snippet from Mashable.com…

In short, Virb is what MySpace would be like if it actually worked: a nice design, simple and intuitive navigation and just as much (perhaps even more) customization – not only can you edit all your profile’s colors and fonts in the basic view, but advanced users can edit the css and html, as well as building custom modules (basically snippets of html that make it easier to organize the various items on your page). There’s photo sharing too, of course, plus video-sharing, tagging, groups, comments, messaging and all the other standard features. Coming from the makers of PureVolume, there’s also a strong musical element: a download called Virbtunes works like MOG or Last.fm, tracking the music you listen to in iTunes and making recommendations. And just like on MySpace, bands also have special pages from which you can grab tracks to populate a player on your own profile.

Do you virb?
Let us know.

    Hey Los,

    I wanted to stop by and throw out a shameless plug for my first worship confessional that I have posted on my site http://www.revivedwritings.com

    I have also thrown a link to ragamuffinsoul into my links list. Great work here bro, we are trying to bring some of the great worship you guys on the west coast are having to our small town here in North Carolina.

    Peace

    JB

    I Virb — http://virb.com/jennrizzocollins. I haven’t quite figured it all out yet, but it’s much “prettier” than myspace and I love the fact that there aren’t any stupid ads.

    Anyone using Ning? It not an apples to apples comparison like MySpace:Virb, it’s more community based. It’s pretty cool. I’ll have to dig into Virb.

    This is hilarious, I just started my VIRB, less than 30 seconds before I read this post. I’ll look you up. http://virb.com/realyouth

    Yes, I tried MySpasce and don’t like it. I tried Tribe.net and liked it better. I tried Fascebook too. I think I’m already on too many of those networking sites. I like the idea, but I haven’t liked any of the implementations very much.

    And then, of course, there is MyBlogLog, which is a kind of social blogging network.

    I virb. and it saddens me a bit that others aren’t moving over from myspace. It’s sooo much prettier on virb. And you don’t have to see skanky girls in banner ads. Which isn’t good for guys with lust issues btw.
