Ok, maybe I get convinced easily but after reading an article titled "Best Video Hosting Service: Youtube vs Vimeo For Embedded Streaming Video" (http://setsallset.hubpages.com/hub/-Best-Video-Hosting-Service-Youtube-vs-Vimeo-For-Embedded-Streaming-Video), I got convinced that Vimeo is a better option to upload videos to be shared on my Web site or blogs because according to this article, Vimeo does not have the feature that recommends videos after my video finishes so it's less likely that viewers of my video will move onto watching another video on YouTube instead of read further on my Web site or blog. I guess it's a different story if you have a "channel" on YouTube since YouTube definitely has a larger user base but for embedding videos on your own Website or blogs Vimeo does sound like a better option. Also, I am not thinking about the other pro's and con's discussed in the article like the limit on how much they let you upload since I currently don't have much to upload.
But I wonder if it's still true that Vimeo does not recommend any videos at the end of every video. So I uploaded the same video (LIBR 285 presentation) on Vimeo. If you've seen my previous posting, you will be able to compare what YouTube does and what Vimeo does.
The URL of the same video on Vimeo is ... well I will provide it for you when and if Vimeo finishes uploading... I am not sure what the problem is but it can't seem to upload the last view bytes of the file... So maybe this should change my view of Vimeo...
