Following the tradition of spotting simple websites that I love, Virb was announced this weekend.

Virb puts all of the things that make you you — photos, videos, blogs — in one place. So you can find friends (and friends can find you).

Apparently it only takes 30 seconds to get started and signed up for an account too!

After taking a look through the site. I was really struck by the sheer beauty of it. The typography is great and I love the media player. Not only does this new social networking site boast some great features, but it also sports much cleaner code than its competitor myspace.com. One of my pet peeves with myspace is that is has introduced a whole new level of terrible coding practice and bloat to the internet. Virb certainly has the potential of cleaning this up.
