Who we are:
Connect with others through the power of Vimeo™. This innovative site is more than just a hub for sharing video content. It is a vibrant community of users who showcase their creativity and individuality in an exciting social setting. Launched in 2004 and headquartered in New York, NY, this Mindspark™ company offers users a video sharing experience that is both entertaining and easy to use.
Vimeo.com revolutionized the online video sharing universe by being the first site to support HD upload and playback. Recent additions include enhanced privacy options and tools that allow members to have real control over what can be seen. Such innovations led Vimeo to receive the 2008 Webware 100 Award for Video, presented by Webware, a CNET site. This increasingly popular online destination received further accolades when it was nominated for "Best Video Sharing Website" by Open Web Awards. It is no wonder why millions of people are logging on to experience all that Vimeo has to offer.
