Virb is cool

I finally got an invite to Virb, the myspace killer. I have 2 invites if anyone wants to try it out.

Virb and Myspace in 2007

Mashable has a post on Virb, a social networking site being brewed up by the guys who built and run Purevolume. I really feel that Myspace has reached it’s peak and is on it’s way down, I don’t have statistical numbers to prove that but call it a gut feeling, that’s why I too think that Virb is going to takeover in 2007, from the screenshots I’ve seen and from reviews I’ve read this service is going to be huge. Purevolume is a great site and is beautifully designed and engineered so they have that going for them as well.

I always knew something was fishy with the way we received our movies from Netflix. We usually blamed inventory or problems with USPS but this article tends to explain things. I’ve had coworkers of mine tell me how nice the Blockbuster online rental service is and while I generally dislike the Blockbuster corporation, I still do find myself running there in between Netflix deliveries so I might as well give their online service a shot.

OpenID clarification

I have to admit that I was a little confused with OpenID when it started gaining some steam. This article is a great article that explains the idea and use really well.
