I didn't realize you could actually sign up for an account there and have your "stations" saved. I remember seeing the site a long time ago and thinking the interface was ugly so I didn't pay much attention to it. I am on waaaay too many social networking / web2.0 sites. The other day I was bored (ok, study-procrastinating) and I made a list: ME ON THE INTERNET

• virb (rachel)
• flickr (_rachel)
• twitter (rjk)
• del.icio.us (intensify)
• facebook
• waferbaby (rachel)
• livejournal (frenemy)
• last.fm (intensify)
• iminlikewithyou (rach) < this is in private beta; I have some invites, if you want

And that's not counting the things i've signed up for and never really used, or used to use but don't anymore:

• youtube (mushruminate)
• vimeo (intensify)
• digg (rkwon)
• tumblr (rach)
• threadless (intensify)
• ma.gnolia (rachel)

Hm, now that I actually write it all out, that list doesn't look that impressive anymore. Note that MySpace is not on that list. Nor will it ever be. You know how vegetarians feel about meat? That's how I feel about MySpace. Actually, it's more akin to how a hardcore vegan would feel about non-free range chicken and veal wrapped in bacon, fried in lard, then wrapped in a leather coat made out of the hide of baby kangaroos. Basically, I don't really like MySpace.]]> Sun, 06 May 2007 15:17:57 -0700 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/29782 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/7246 Thu, 05 Apr 2007 17:57:20 -0700 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/7246 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/2763 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 13:16:22 -0700 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/2763 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/1214 Nick on Virb.com Judging by his comments, my opinion stands not alone.]]> Thu, 22 Feb 2007 22:49:58 -0800 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/1214 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/328 Sun, 14 Jan 2007 09:52:16 -0800 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/328 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/249
- Pelican
- Caribou
- Tortoise

Not really in sound but more in name. Actually, in sound too. Pelican and Tortoise are both from Chicago and all three of them are super, super mellow. Caribou I think is just one dude, from Canada. My favorite of the three is Tortoise.

So yeah.]]> Mon, 01 Jan 2007 11:18:36 -0800 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/249 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/217
Hooray for Virb!]]> Wed, 27 Dec 2006 23:37:14 -0800 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/217 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/203
I have two beta invites remaining? I have INVITES?

Oh, what to do? Whom shall I send a virtual embrace-slash-welcome to the world that is Virbland?

I was thinking of just putting out a notice on my site and giving it to the first person who responds, which is what I usually do when I get things of the invitation nature.

But I really like how the Virb community is right now. I like that it's still pretty small (or at least it SEEMS small to me).

I like how most people seem to be devoted to the community.

I like how my username is my actual name and not R4CH3L_a239847ry.

And -- this is mean, but -- I like how it's sort of elitist. I like that it is superior to that 'other' music-centric community site (ahemMYSPACE) in every way.

I'm such a bitch.]]> Fri, 22 Dec 2006 00:12:34 -0800 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/203 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/137 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 23:35:44 -0800 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/137 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/134 Amy for the invite!]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2006 22:05:05 -0800 http://virb.com/rachel/posts/text/134
