Rather than, or perhaps in addition to, MySpace, you might want to check out the new social network that was created in Pittsburgh: Humble Voice. The site is set up for artists and creative types to showcase their work within a social network. Just like MySpace created its site with the the lessons learned from Friendster, Humble Voice looks like it’s taking that next leap forward. For instance, Humble Voice counters all that annoying “Check out my band” nonsense on MySpace with more appropriate band integration from the very beginning.

So check out Humble Voice, and if you register, be sure to let them know I sent you. My username’s easy: chrisgriswold.

This is the sort of thing that Pittsburgh does well but that people are surprised to find out came from here. Check it out.
