YouTube is definitely the most popular video website, but Vimeo is steadily gaining fans.
Compared to YouTube’s cluttered comments section and increasing number of advertisements before videos, Vimeo has a much cleaner look and more personal feel.
It’s a good idea to periodically check Vimeo for new video uploads of your favorite bands. Only relying on YouTube could mean that you miss out on great concert videos.
For example, I recently found an entire Rilo Kiley concert (from May 2005 at Austin City Limits) on Vimeo — Vimeo is the only place on the Internet to watch this concert.
Set list: “Pull Me in Tighter,” “More Adventurous,” “Ripchord,” “The Absence of God,” “Does He Love You?,” and “I Love LA.”
I like Vimeo’s look better than Youtube’s, but I feel more restricted in that there is a bigger upload limit on Vimeo. That’s one of the biggest reasons I stick to Youtube.
Good point, Sharon. Even though I like how Vimeo looks more than YouTube, I also use YouTube more — YouTube is definitely more ubiquitous than Vimeo.
i use Vimeo better becuase i am a kid and i cant get a google account so i HATE Youtube. It sucks so bad Kids cant even do it.
Why can’t you make a Google account?
