For some reason I always seem to like and support the underdog more than the popular.  And there are always new services and software being released.  One of the services will usually end up being popular and the one to beat while the others will fall by the wayside even if they are eventually better.  Here are a list of the services/software that I use and prefer next to their popular counterparts.

I will add more to the list as I think of them.  If you can offer any suggestions where the underdog is better than the more popular competition, please leave them in the comments.  I would love to check them out.

Virb making it’s way around the blogosphere.

I’ve seen many of the blogs that I read talking about a new social network called Virb.  Seems like they aim to combine MySpace, YouTube and Flickr all in one place.  It is very Web 2.0′y from what I can see so far.  That isn’t really good or bad, but at least it’s keeping up with web style unlike MySpace.  I will be messing around with it as much as I can in the next few days and will try to offer a more complete review.  The thing that makes a social network good though are it’s users.  At least their invites for the beta are pretty viral right now which could be good to build the network.  Who knows, maybe they can pull a Gmail and keep it in private beta long enough to get an amazing user base.  Speaking of the invites, I got mine from a blog and in that spirit I have 10 invites for people who leave a comment with a valid e-mail address.

If you are already a member feel free to add me as your friend when you check out my profile.  I look forward to learning more about this site and seeing it develop.
