The Makings of an Intern - Vimeo
Thursday, July 19th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
Hello folks! You should feel a little extra special today, as you’re reading the words of a Connected Ventures intern! Connected Ventures is the company behind the brains of sites like Vimeo, College Humor, Busted Tees, and a few others. So, to show my appreciation in being able to work among the youngest, most innovative web geeks out there, I’m going to tell you a bit about Vimeo!
So, unless you’re a human-being who hasn’t been living for the past year, you certainly know of YouTube. You may also know that whenever you need to find that random clip from Southpark, or that really funny bit from Stephen Colbert (hey, I like Comedy Central) you know to search for it on YouTube.
Vimeo’s a bit different. This video community focuses on the more personal edge of video-uploading. Here’s their pitch:
Use Vimeo to exchange videos with only the people you want to. We have a bunch of different privacy options so you can choose exactly who can see your videos, and others can do the same. When you join Vimeo, this page becomes your homepage and will fill up with your videos (and the videos you love).
The site is definitely a lot more private than YouTube, and it fosters a more creative environment (especially if you enjoy creating small movie-shorts.) They also use a great tagging system, like Last.fm. Each day they have new fun projects to participate in. To join, all you need to do is upload your video and tag it with the specific word they give. Example: “merightnow: Just grab a camera and film whatever you are doing right now!”
These mini projects are featured on the front page along with the latest video uploaded with that tag. It’s a really great way to get involved and be creative! So check Vimeo out 
Oh, and on a final note, you may be thinking (probably not) “This girl’s got her own company! What does she need to work for free for?!” - I’m telling you people, clearly it’s just for the free lunches and the chance to work in this office. On a more serious note, I’ll be able to gain quite a bit of experience from working with the best WHILE keeping my company going at the same time.
