“If you'd like to share your videos from a high-definition camcorder online, there aren't a lot of options. The Web's most popular video site, YouTube, shows videos in standard definition, and usually in lower resolution than I would like. Not so at lesser-known competitor Vimeo, which has some big advantages over YouTube and other video sites.

“Vimeo has an appropriately lighthearted look and feel. You can start using it right away. The user experience feels joyfully simple (even though what the site is doing is complex).

“ For Personal Use If you just need to post a video so you can send a link to your family or friends, you want the process to be free and easy. Vimeo nails both of those qualities, and offers a few extras as well. With its stylish design, the site makes your videos look even better. The site is excellent at keeping you posted on the progress of uploading. You can also designate your video as private, so random people won't chance upon it.

“ “Partnerships” and “collaborations” have become such a lame stereotype of corporate culture. For us, teaming up with the guys down the street at Vimeo wasn’t just a natural fit. We realized there was a chance to build something truly meaningful for both our users.

“ So log off YouTube and jump on the Vimeo bandwagon. It seems to have much more to offer to those attracted to more "sophisticated" moviemaking in today's online community.
