The search function on Vimeo has always been an area where we knew there could be major improvement. Well I'm glad to say that major improvement has been made. We have pretty much replaced the entire search engine, and it is now much more accurate. It also now supports search functions like + and -, so if you wanted to search for videos of the beach, but you don't want to see any volleyball, you could do: beach -volleyball. You can also search for phrases in quotes, like "best video ever". Cool, right?
You know what else is cool? Yesterday we broke 1,000,000 plays in one day on Vimeo. That's a big milestone for us! At it's peak that's 17 people hitting play every second. This time last year, we peaked at 190k plays in one day. In January this year, we were at just 220k. After a long hibernation, Vimeo has quadrupled in size in pretty much every dimension in less than six months.
Oh, we also set personal bests for videos uploaded, HD videos uploaded, videos encoded, sign ups, logged in users, comments, and likes. On any given day we usually break one of these, to smash them all at once is awesome.

I mean like Beyond Thunderdome awesome!
..Now if I could just figure out how to download Cherry Coke out of this thing.
[no, im not from the southern states, im a brit]
but advertising? hmm, might spoil the look of the gorgeous site we already have if there are big glaring adverts here and there
One m-m-m-million plays! WOW!
Mmmmm. Root beer.
How do they make money?????
Also, IANAL LOL WTF?
Who owns it now? Did you all chip in and buy them out? ;)
Also I noticed, the sponsors are now Vimeo Widgets, Channels, Projects, and Groups. How are you guys survivin'?
Vimeo is brought to us today by the letter H, and the number 3.
We're just waiting on some more ad "stock". I'm not really involved in that side of things, but we're doing fine.
Please read the new Terms and Conditions, which specifically state that you retain ownership of your videos.
trop cool
:-)
i'm glad to share this with you every day
However, one tiny small minute itty bitty gripe! The search engine no longer searches 'tags' (or so it appears) and only searches the video title and/or description :(
Yesterday one of my favorite 'tag' searches produced a couple of thousand 'hits' and today it shows only a little over 470 - and I know this aint so as some of my videos contain the same tag and no longer show in the search results :(
Is this the way of the future or only a temporary glitch - I miss my tag search ability...?
and yes that was what I was referring too (I should learn to express myself more clearly), I used that feature quite a lot to 'drill-down' to the more appropriate videos I am looking for. I will bookmark that format from now on unless vimeo extends the search feature to search beyond the first 500 videos.
Thanks again, and job well done to all you folks behind vimeo :)
Looking forward to the day where I have more than 500mb a week...
No matter what you do though, we will ask for more. Just keep that in mind in a couple years when you increase the weekly limit to 30 terabytes.
Thank you Vimeo and congrats on all the
growth.
have you (the staff) ever thought that this will happen? Think back to the introduction of 250 megs a week.... Are there any other stats available like qty. of users, average vidos/user avage likes/user avarage visit, qty. of "active" users... something we can be proud of ;)
As for stats, we don't like to brag that much except when it's something big.
Don't thought about bragging, just as an information. And "beeing proud" means to be proud of beeing a part of it.
Vimeo= fantastic!
I send you all hugs.
but congratulations anyway.
is it run by groups and channels or something?
but i am.
great job and well done on the big 6 zeros
Seriously though, 1 million. Mind boggling!
Congratulations on the tremendous numbers!
Now it is time to call Bill Gates and have him add “Vimeo” to the spell checker in MS Word.
Do you know of any integration with other programs to upload into Vimeo? Might be really easy.
Cheers and keep up the good work, now we gonna have to for the 2 million or are you thinking about 10 million??
-scott (former youtube & revver user)
But it probably will be like myspace and virb (the one awful but popular, the other great but not known). Anyway, good job and keep up the great work.
