VIRB

Friends, Music and Video... we're helping you stay connected.

one year on - (yet another frickin' moo group that you know you'll join...resistance is futile...)

it's been a year - my, how you've changed!

One year since I joined Virb (well, it will be on Thursday 17th April).
Just a place to let me know how it's been for you in that time, what you've liked and hated - generally a place to have your say about what all this has meant to you. For you to describe YOUR Virb experiences so far - memories and reminicenses.

I was going to just do a blog, but this can be a semi-temporary place to say what you think (I know it's very similar to lots of my other groups, but this one is really just an extension of the blog, to give you chance to say more and see notifications of what other people have had to say).

I've had fun - and made too many friends to name them all without missing someone out.
You have to believe me when I say that I love you all to bits and you have made this addiction of mine the absolute (ongoing) highlight of the past 12 months.
I hope as many of you join as possible - even if you don't stay. I'd just love to hear from you.
Here's to the next 12 months...

Geesh - has it been a year already? I guess it has...if heather's been on here a year, then I know I have been on here longer. VIRB was such a small community back then...my how times has chang-ed.

moo says:

well, a year and 3 months now actually!
Yeah - I remember my first tentative steps onto this site and i think I loved it more or less straight away.
I expect it will get even bigger - and I hope that doesn't spoil things..

heather says:

Yes, ma'am....yes I am.

I saw a mention of VIRB first on Jeremy Cowart's web site, so I had to check it out...and I think I fell in love with it, too. You're right - it'll no-doubt grow larger and larger, but I have a feeling our core group will remain pretty much in-tact (give or take a few).

You know, VIRB2 should have a mechanism that sends out a "Happy Anniversary" or "Happy Birthday" announcement to you when you hit your milestones. There's a feature request.

heather says:

Oh no you didn't just ma'am me. You and your darn West Virginia upbringing.

Like Brad doesn't have enough to deal with. :-) Although it would be cool to have that function on here.

And then Virb eventually starts forgetting your anniversary. Next thing you know, you are sleeping in separate beds.

Ok, thought I would join since this an applicable group for me. I joined Virb I think around mid to late April of last year. Joined because I was over MySpace and had succeeded in finding as many of my old friends there as I wanted. Came to this site to find new people to be friends with and succeeded happily. I miss the constant talking that I experienced last summer. I am a little bugged by the number of people that have left in the last few months. But, everyone comes and goes for a reason. Granted Virb isn't the shiny new toy it was last year. However, I still have happy little surprises here from time to time. :-)

echo says:

i've been here 4 months, after a year of disgust with myspace, despite initial high hopes. i have not been disappointed; by far a more intelligent group here. i have been wanting to talk about how beneficial and therapeutic i have found my experience here. i feel far less desperate than i was when i started out. i have needed to be heard, and to hear others, opinions beyond what the people in i find in my town are capable of. though what i find is in part (though not wholly) my fault, having the social interaction problems that i do. which makes this an ideal medium for myself and others with the same type of problem. but quite frankly, i still think that it is not a dysfunction to shrink from interaction with the general population. so i have found people here who have heard me, and people whose input has had an impact on my own views. and i sorely needed that input.

I'm pleased that some of this has helped.
I have nothing but good to say about all my friends here - so non-judgemental and genuine. I have made some fantastic friendships that I wish I could replicate in real life.

echo says:

well, all but me. but i'm working on being less judgmental.

moo says:

haha - no, you're a good friend too!

echo says:

i just meant i didn't fit into the non-judgmental catagory. but i make up for it in authenticity.

How to make your own Utopia on virb:

1. add everyone on virb. EVERYONE.

There, you're done. Even if they don't add you back, you can find them all using your "Fast Friend Finder"! (as long as they don't deny your reqest, that is!) Really, try it!

Now you can have EVERYONE on your list! :P

I hope you're joking Jonathan!
I'd rather have 20 friends who I talk to than 2000 that I don't..

Tia Prisci says:

Hahaha. That's pretty funny! I actually don't have many friends on Virb because I want to be able to comment and keep up with everyone. It is hard with like 2000 . lol. However, on facebook and myspace, I have quite a few more and can't keep up. Most all of those I added though are people I know. Virb has been about making make new friends. hehehe. =)

Paul says:

Congratz, moo!

I joined with some other friends from a message board I frequent. I don't think they've kept it up or joined any groups. It's all heshta's fault that I started posting in some of the groups.

moo says:

everything is her fault Paul!
But I'm glad too.
And glad you joined in and became a friend - I can't remember if I've even seen a pic of you (am going to check now) - I think of you as a scared little dog - just like people round here probably think of me as a cow!

Edit: ah yes - I remember now - the trumpet player!

I really don't know - I only know from my first comments and blogs. If you joined then said nothing for ages, then you may have to guess! No one notifies you!
