Curl Json

Hmm. Curl command didn't work for me (OSX)

curl https://us6.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists | json -bash: json: command not found

Hey Tony --

Sorry about any confusion that caused. That "json" command was just an alias I set up to make the results look a little nicer for the videos. If you leave that part out, it should work correctly. However, if you want to organize the response in a more human-readable format, you can use "python -m json.tool" instead of just the "json" command.
