At work today I was surfing and came across this article which unearths yet another new web 2.0 social-networking site. The website is currently in a closed testing phase but I am nevertheless working on getting an invite to check it out. Paul of StrikingShots.com labels the site “Like Myspace Only Good” and points to a turn-off-profile-customizations feature as a distinguishing factor between titan MySpace and Virb. One way that MySpace has distinguished itself from Facebook (or StudiVZ in Germany) is that MySpace allows a high level of profile customization with HTML code. Anyone that has used MySpace knows that the customizations can get a little out of hand, so Virb seems to be positioning itself in the middle ground between the two competing ideologies.
I like the clean look of Virb.com and am eager to see if they have any killer features that will afford them any competitive advantage in the saturating social-networking space.
More to come.
