I hate to be the bearer of bad news... Blab is gone. I think Periscope, Facebook Live, Google Hangs, Youtube Live Broadcasting and GoTo Webinar just created to much competition in the field.
For what it's worth, I loved Balb, and I wish they stuck it out. Ahh, well.
Still a great post. Your hacks are all excellent. And I enjoyed your humorous reference to Steve :)

Thank you
