Vimeo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vimeo is a video-sharing site which launched in November 2004. The site supports embedding and video downloads, and allows user-commenting on each video page. Users must register to upload content. Registered users may also create a profile and upload small user pictures as their avatars.

[edit] Popularity
Vimeo touts over 65,000 registered users[1].
As of 17 October 2006, 110,674 videos exist on the service. Nowhere on the site is the number of videos given, but the exact figure can be determined through trial and error by experimenting with various numbers in the clip URL (http://www.vimeo.com/clip:######), as Vimeo uses a sequential numbering system for all uploaded video content.
[edit] Notable content hosted
Vimeo has helped to offload traffic from Improv Everywhere's servers after new pranks are announced, and continues to host most of their videos[2]. It was also the original location of Noah Kalina's "everyday" video, which has currently received over 3,140,000 hits on YouTube. Kristen Schaal uses Vimeo to promote her content.
