Go categorize yourself!
To help us better organize the Virb community, we've added a rather small and inconspicuous new feature to your profile's Account/Settings page. If you were to take a peek, you'd see that a new option called "Categories" has (sorta magically) appeared.
The addition of this feature allows us to start indexing and differentiating between profiles, thereby enhancing VIRB's Search capabilities -- as well as a few other ideas still up our sleeve.
You can start by telling us what your profile focuses on. We've begun by listing only a few of the basics: like photography, art, fashion and so on. SO if you feel like you don't fit within any of these genres, don't panic! You don't need to pick one right away... We'll be adding more soon; and when we do, I'll be sure to let you know!

Really glad to see this implemented now. I can only assume it also has some association with the "Virb is XXXXXX" pages, WHICH I HAVE CLICKED NINETEEN TIMES EVERY DAY SINCE I JOINED.

Awesome work! This should really help bring in some nice features in the future.

@Matan Rubinstein-
Go to "Your Home," click "Account/Settings," then under "Basic Info," the second option down is for choosing your categories.

@Matan Rubinstein: The "basic info" menu item for artists can be found under the "artist info" menu item, but we have not yet added "categories" for artist accounts.
