Liz Gannes has a great post over at Om Malik’s NewTeeVee site that looks at Vimeo<\/a>, a video-sharing site that I must admit I had kind of overlooked in the frenzy of interest over YouTube and Revver and so on. She describes how the site got started as a personal project launched by Jakob Lodwick and Zach Klein, the twenty-something founders of CollegeHumor.com, which was bought by media mogul Barry Diller’s Interactive Corp last August (Jakob and Zach also co-founded BustedTees.com). <\/p>\n

According to Liz, Vimeo has shied away from the upload-anything, celebrity-focused, copyright-infringing YouTube approach and tried to focus on the home-movie crowd. The founders say they are trying to reinvent home movies for the Internet age, not reinventing television — an approach I think is in some ways much more appealing — and the site doesn’t even list the most-viewed videos, the way most such sites do. <\/p>\n

But one of the most fascinating things about the NewTeeVee post for me was the video clip<\/a> that Liz embedded from founder Jakob Lodwick, which I have embedded here. I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n
