Vimeo is a site for organizing and sharing video clips.

The beta version of this site launched in mid February, 2005. We are very serious about continually improving this site.

This site was conceived by me, Jakob Lodwick, and was brought to life when I teamed up with Zach Klein. We both work at Connected Ventures, the company responsible for CollegeHumor, Busted Tees, The Big Shocker, and AllDumb.

If you don't know any of those sites, you should ask your kids about them.

Some of the technology behind Vimeo includes Apache (server software), PHP (programming), MySQL (database), and FFMPEG-PHP (thumbnails).

The inspiration for this site, most prominently, comes from Ludicorp's Flickr, Josh Schachter's del.icio.us, Lev Manovich, Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, and Dr. Maria Montessori.
