Are you tired of Youtube? Well I surely do have! Recently I was thinking, what could be my alternative source for video uploading in a better place filled with an interesting community. This leaded me to choose Vimeo, the best video player & community. 

Before that, I would like to point out some reasons why I hate Youtube at the moment. 

  • Very Cluttered - The environment on youtube has become very disorganized in the recent years. Their core design structure has never changed. And if they did, barely you could have noticed it. Some Ajax powered tabs maybe? That’s all they could give? Its just like old pal Friendster. No matter how hard they try, it never brings out anything sleek. Well why the hell they care. They have a huge user base and think they monopoly the social networks for Video. Well think again Youtube!
  • Stream Quality - This sucks to the maximum. I feel bad to watch cool trailers, such as Batman for example in low quality. Why can’t  they have an option to select streaming quality?
  • Slow Loading - I don’t know why! Seriously. With such low stream quality, Youtube is seriously slow.
  • Too much of crap - Okay, yeah I get it that, there is a huge community at youtube and we do need publicity at times. But my question is, are we exposed to some sort of crap overload? Try heading your self to recent videos or most frequently watched. You will know what I mean. 

Now, let me tell you, why you will love Vimeo as much as I do. 

  • Interactive Video Player - This is seriously one of the best interactive Flash Video players I have seen around. Sleek & Sexy. 
  • HD Playback - Now we are talking. Those who love HD, I bet you, this is your choice. Vimeo enables you an option to choose normal streaming or HD. But trust me, even the normal quality looks like HD! You barely will notice the difference unless you go full screen. 
  • Fast Loading - With such HD playback etc, Its seriously fast loading! Even on low end broadband. I am amazed. And I love it. 
  • A friendly community - Vimeo practices one thing that many does not. Friendliness. Vimeo does a lot of things to ensure that the community is friendly and welcomes all your home videos. You could feel pleased by people feeling happy to see you sharing your happiness in life through your videos. You will never get any Punk comments around.

Note : Vimeo is more of place to share your home videos & own produced show episodes. Something that really you love. Where everyone welcomes you. It’s not Youtube! You know what I mean.
