YouTube vs. Vimeo
At first, Vimeo looks like a poor man’s YouTube and after using the site for several minutes, it is. But its a better media hosting site because it’s stripped of all the distractions and advertising that YouTube is plagued with.
The only downfall is its lack of a user community but that’s normal for a fairly new site. I expect it to grow quite considerably in the next year or so. Although with popularity and publicity comes all the rather intrusive, annoying advertising but there’s not much you can do about that.
The only other complaint is the restriction on uploading space. If you are a heavy user then you are somewhat forced into signing up and paying for Vimeo PLUS. Oh well, Youtube could use competition… monopolistic empires are dangerous.
