Hey Matt,
I quickly signed up for virb and it went very well. Simple and easy. As a 
test I put up a picture and a couple of brief snips fresh from some new 
things i have been recording, very short for now. So far I like it. Not so 
gaudy. hehe. I did have to sign up for Twitter, at least i think I had 
to..anyway. One more thing to distract me. Shout out to all the loopers on 
Facebook! lol. check it out!
