The official press release is here.

Morgan Webb of G4TV’s XPlay has started her own video blog, WebbAlert. Initially it will be daily from Monday to Thursdays. We’ve liked her on XPlay and so far, the first 2 video blogs show promise. The video blogs aim to be short snippets (about 5 minutes long) of the goings on around the web.

Check out the first 2 episodes…
