From the VIRB email I received:
GOODBYE PROFILE, HELLO WEBSITE
New Vision, New Direction
If you haven’t checked out Virb in a while, it’s possible you haven’t heard the news: Virb is about to change in a very BIG way. This isn't just a fresh coat of paint, it's a departure from free social profiles — a necessary & exciting change to our business.Our new mission is laser-focused: Virb will be one of the easiest and most affordable ways to build an elegantly simple website. There you have it.
So your profile will disappear and they will ask you to pay to maintain it as a website or something. It's not like we paid much attention to Virb, but well, one less to worry about.
On launch day, your Virb account will be upgraded to the new awesomeness. All your previously uploaded content and media will transition seamlessly. You'll get a month to give our website building tools a proper tire kicking — for FREE. Afterwards, you can continue using Virb at a super discounted rate: $5/month for you, $10/month for everyone else. We think you're going to love it.
Time to DELETE YOUR VIRB (Heosphoros style).
I will delete any and all content I have there in case something nastier could happen to it.
