private video hosting

I'm looking for a way to post password protected videos of our daughter for friends and family to watch.
So far, I'm checking out use.com , vimeo, ziddu, and photobucket.
Use.com does not allow me to create a single folder I can link to - instead I send links to each individual video.
ziddu I've heard some folks say that they were having problems opening it.

anyone use any of those or have other recommendations? I'd like to keep it to "free" if I can...

GURULIB down?

I found this GREAT site called gurulib where I could list my DVDs and loan them out etc. I like Neighborrow better for the whole package, but for DVDs, gurulib had a very nice coverflow look - easy to use & nice to look at.

All of the sudden they're gone. They've been down now for a week or more and I have no idea why. Thanks to http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090602001222AAQeajf I got the developer's email address, but have not heard back yet.

Here's hoping...

photo site service

A year ago I started looking into photo sharing sites. My rules were simple: My friends and family shouldn't have to join to see pics. I want them to be able to download the FULL high quality version. I want to be able to password protect specific galleries. I want an easy to navigate site for the upload process and viewing experience. I checked out Kodak, Snapfish, Shutterfly, Winkflash, Dot Photo, and Smugmug. I WANTED a free service, but ended up paying for Smugmug. Soon our year subscription will be up. Anyone have any suggestions?

Jason Calacanis discusses blog searching and comments on TWIT

So I'd been going through some old podcasts of TWIT and Jason Calacanis was talking about setting up a blog search such that he got an alert when he was mentioned in a blog or a comment & then he was able to respond quickly even on these obscure blogs. I've tried searching on Google but can't find the link. Anybody know how to do this?

Salt Lake City Utah

We got to spend the weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah with my sister, her husband, and our niece. We landed Friday night and when we woke up Saturday, it was already snowing - and kept snowing all day long! Eventually we got 6-9 inches. It was so nice to spend time with them and play with the dogs in the snow.
