Stuff I Like on the Interactive Web: Part One
Reggie Watts: Out Of Control from Jakob Lodwick on Vimeo
Following up on my last drunken web post, I think I’ll highlight a few of the great websites that are out there that may not have your attention.
As far as video sharing goes, of course there’s YouTube and Google Video. And those are great for sharing large things or seeing highlights from The Family Guy. But the quality leaves something to be desired and it’s mostly just weird clips, not a lot of original material. And there’s not much of a community or social feeling to the site.
Enter Vimeo. By design, it’s been described as a hipster YouTube and it even looks like it’s the love child of The Doug Fir and Readymade Magazine. Which I love.
It’s more like a video Flickr. Lots of comments and discussion around video clips, and they use the latest flash compression, so the clips look a step above most other video sites.
Beautiful UI design, a great group of people and a fantastic community. Check it out. Here are a few of my old video clips: http://vimeo.com/user:124686
