Vimeo Offline Event on Vimeo Staff Blog

New Features

Share on Twitter
Now you can share your videos on Twitter! Just click the Share icon in a video to launch the Share module.
Channel Notifications
Channel owners now have a new section in their channel settings to optionally receive emails for when someone posts a message to their shoutbox and for when someone subscribes to their channel. Adding moderators to your channel also now has an approval process, where both parties will receive emails when the request happens, and when the request is approved.
People Subscribed To Me
There is now a new page within your My Contacts where you can see what users are subscribed to you and what they are subscribed to (likes, videos, and/or appearances).
Featured videos for your group
Have any videos you want to show off in your group? You can easily add any 3 group videos to feature on your group homepage.
Featured videos on your profile page
Have any videos you want to show off on your profile page? You can easily add any of your 3 public videos to feature on your profile page. Try it now.
Removing Video Thumbnails
Everytime you upload a video, you get 12 thumbnails to choose from. Now, a month from the day you upload your video, we will automatically remove any unused thumbnails. But you will always be able to upload your own.
Improved Searching
We've been waiting for this. The toolbar search is now much more accurate.
Login and Join Vimeo Lightbox
Clicking on most login and join links will now trigger a lightbox overlay where you can quickly login or join Vimeo and stay on your current page.
Better referrer statistics
Now we record every page that videos get embeded on, check it out in the stats section to the right of any video page.
Share on MySpace
Everyone says they hate it, but everyone has a MySpace profile! We've added MySpace to the Sharing options.
Badge additions
You can now add channels and albums to any Badge that you create. Yipeee!
Daily Email Update
You can now receive a daily email full of what's happening in your Vimeo world. Sign up is located in your notifications settings.
Converting time during transcoding
Ted and Casey added a nifty little feature that will display the time remaining to convert your video during uploads.
New Hubnut Behavoir
From now on, the Hubnut will not auto-rotate when it is loaded on a page. This will only affect all newly created Hubnuts, not those that are currently used on other sites.
Search Channels
Now you can FINALLY search for Channels. Use the 'Search' box in the top navigation bar, make sure its set on 'Channels', and search away!
Posting to Flickr
It's back! You can once again post your videos to Flickr. You can also post albums. Do this by clicking on Share and navigating to the "Post this..." tab.
Expanded Tag Browsing
Clicking a tag from a video will bring you to an improved tag browsing experience. Now you can browse videos with that tag in your videos, all videos, your contacts' videos and more. Vimeo members who use that tag most are also noted.
New Avatar Feature
Clicking any "avatar" aka user portrait will bring up a menu of actions you can take regarding that user. Use this menu to add contacts, subscribe to videos, and send messages to users you see on Vimeo
Spam Filters
We've recently rolled out some great new spam filters that we think will help keep spammers off of Vimeo. Of course its impossible to stop ALL spammers, so if you ever see any send an email to Help@vimeo.com and we'll take care of it.
Add Multiple Email Addresses
Now you can add multiple email addresses to your account and then sign in with any of them using the same password. Just set one as your main address, verify it after we send you an email, and you're all set.

Blake Whitman January 12th, 2009

If you like awesome videos, awesome people, and awesome food, please join me and some other awesome members of the Vimeo Staff for our awesome monthly series: Vimeo Offline. Awesome!

Vimeo Offline is a chance to see your favorite Vimeo videos in an offline environment. The events are held at the amazing Monkey Town restaurant/screening room where people can eat, drink, and be merry all while watching Vimeo videos projected on four screens all around them. Its pretty cool.

So if you live in the area, come on by! If not, don't sweat, I'll be posting a playlist of the videos by the end of the week so everyone else can check them out too!

Vimeo Offline: Short and Sweet
This Wednesday, January 14th - 8pm
@ Monkey Town, 58 N.3rd, Brooklyn, NY.

Hope to see you there!

  Imagine The Vimeo offline world tour !! No, seriously, since some years, I'm watching that short festival and it's the same week end in dozens of cities around the world. That could be an idea to dig in the future, watching the same selection. trescourt.com/?page=en_news&id_article=1012

  I volunteer myself to be parachuted into international locations with only my laptop and trusty cowboy hat in tow. I'd provide Vimeo relief where most needed on a moments notice.
  
  Put me in coach!

  Srsly. One of the coolest things about Vimeo is that there are kindred vid-artist-type-people all over the globe sharing vids. Geography is rendered MEANINGLESS when harnessing the POWER!!!!! Okay I'll calm down now...

  I made a UK event at the end of last year based on my Vimeo Channel. vimeo.com/2117236 If anyone wants something similar in their area, it's not too difficult to arrange yourselves. Having said that, it would be nice to attend an official Vimeo event. Maybe representatives to screen the monthly show could be recruited in cities around the world?

  too far from italy, or i'd surely be there :)
- Johan Löfström 10 months ago
  
  I am arranging Free short film nights, in a small art gallery in a town in Sweden. I started selecting & collecting videos and animations from youtube, before i knew vimeo existed.
  
  so the first 4 hours of films that was shown in X8 is in a playlist here: youtube.com/JohanLatki
  
  but now all the future shows is going to be here: vimeo.com/groups/X9anime
  
  Thank you to vimeo and to all the creative animators and film makers that agree to have their work shown.
  
  It is easy to arrange something similar, you just need a white wall and a projector...

  Please pardon the self-promotion, but we've been doing this for a bit with bike-related shorts [bikeshortsfilms.com]. We did our first few screenings at Monkeytown too, and shot something with 4 cameras to take advantage of the venue. It's a great spot and often has cool events like the Vimeo screening.
