Just when I thought Viigo couldn’t get any more consumer friendly than it already is, they go and create an awesome new Support Site!

The new Viigo Support Site contains FAQs & Forums covering a wide variety of topics, it allows you to enter and track incident reports and/or support requests on-line.

They didn’t stop there. Any incidents submitted from your Viigo client will automatically be routed to the Viigo Support Site, where you can log-in and track their progress/resolution.

• Check it out: support.viigo.com

With all the support Viigo gives their users, why not help support them by purchasing some Amazon products from their Support Site page on the right side. Not only will you get great deals but you will also be helping them with the development of Viigo!

As BerryReview mentioned, its a little odd that all the media cards are priced differently but the end price is $34.20 for all of them regardless because of the shipping. Either way, its a great deal compared to the original price of $99.99.
