Guy Kawasaki joked in a talk "oh god, the wrong people are buying our products in large quantities! quick, stop them!". I guess from a business perspective, vimeo have looked at what is their most important asset, and decided it was the 'creative content', versus other content that they now seem to have blocked. I would hazard a guess that users of any kind are vimeo's main asset, and that this move may show a lack of understanding of the people that are actually using their service. It matters not one dot who you <em>want</em> to use your service, try helping the people that <em>do</em>. I’ve said many times that consumers choose what the purpose of a product is.

I actually CHOSE Vimeo because it appeared to be snootier than YouTube, which is what I was looking for... and that 'game videos are longer by nature' line? Come on, we could say 'Scoble videos are longer by nature'... Basically, it's a subjective call, and I'd be more worried about their scalability. Their company tone in the comments has really been giving me the heebie jeebies. I dunno. We are customers that are basically leaving or getting fired or something.

We all want to share our videos, to share our passions and the things we like. There are so many sites around to publish our videos on the web that it is sometimes hard to make a choice. We know some of them like YouTube, Revver or Dailymotion, but there are so many others competing to be the number one, or targeting a specific audience, whether geographically (China, Japan, Turkey...), by language (German, Arabic, French...) or for the kind of content they enable to publish (cooking, planes, extreme sports...). I have compiled a growing list of more than 750 video sharing sites, video search engines, and video download sites that you can check at http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com For each of them, you will get useful information such as their history, the country from which most of their visitors come, their niche, their rank, their latest news... This site offers some other interesting features, like a forum about online videos, how to make money with your videos, how to create your own YouTube site, etc. So if you are interested in video sharing or online video marketing, give an eye to this site, it worths it. Cheers Hi,
