'cause editing photos, resizing them and writing everything in between takes triple the time. at least. me? I want to see the imperfections so that I can choose what to buy and what not. if I get a video review I have to go somewhere else to double-check. and honestly, I'd rather not :).</p> here’s my two cents.

I think I like Viddler best so far. Not sure there are any others to try…
