Virb

One of the sites that took the mantle of indie and up and coming music when the first incarnation of MP3.com went dark was PureVolume. I have admired what they have done from afar over the last several years and in my opinion they have really captured the pulse and lifeline of indie music today. Where you go from there in a world of changing tastes with kids is hard to say but an indication of where they are going can be found at the soon to be launched Virb. It appears to be their take on social networking and given the smarts that they have it will be interesting to see what their take is when they go live.
