Mashable has received a tip about a potential new Internet Movie Database (IMDb) project: a database and social network for Music dubbed “SoundUnwound“. While Adam Ostrow rightly points out that the IMDb itself is probably ripe to get its own social network (frankly it’s kind of surprising they haven’t launched one yet), the fact that they appear ready to jump into that arena for music means one for movies is probably in the works as well.

I, like most people, love the IMDb. I doubt I’ve used any single website more (aside from Google) over the past 5-10 years. That doesn’t however mean I think it’s the best executed site in the world – in fact I think it’s kind of obtuse and clunky. Just in the past year they’ve finally added JavaScript voting so you didn’t have to go to a separate page and vote via drop-down menu ala 1996, but the area where you can see your vote history is ridiculously old school – it’s like a bad Excel sheet.

I’d love to see Amazon (who owns them) pump a lot of money into the site for a complete revamp. The site is 17 years old and despite some minor upgrades over the years, it’s starting to show.
