A Year and a half after its creation, it sold to Google for 1.65 billion. This type of success has flooded the internet with Video's, from home made user submissions to trailers for new movies.

YouTube is a great gateway, but as video's evolve and grow, the demand for a better engine to run them on increases.

Here comes Vimeo. Vimeo is a Video sharing site, but much more. Vimeo allows users to play videos in High Definition, where YouTube's “High Quality” boast much less significant improvements.

Vimeo also resizes the actual video screen, allowing for native resolution over squeezing or letter boxing YouTube standard 4:3 aspect ratio. Vimeo users have the ability to password protect videos for viewing, letting the creator control the audience that sees it.

Best of all, users can allow their video to be downloaded from others, enabling growth within an artistic community and facilitating an incredible way to store and transfer videos of your own.

From the nicer looking page layout to the broader support of video resolutions, Vimeo takes the digital cake. Investigate Vimeo for what it has more of, people expressing themselves, and less about people posting video replies.
