8. Reviews Overall, most of these reviews were all positive and say that vimeo is a great social networking tool for sharing videos over the web. However one reviewer gave a negative review based on the fact that users are not allowed to upload commercial advertisement onto vimeo.

9. Comments and Feedback After each video there is a discussion board viewers can leave comments on the thoughts of the videos they view You can also get in touch with the creator if you have an account and can message them via their username.

10. Access When accessing this site I encountered no problems Easy process to register and it’s free

11. Similar Websites Other sites like Vimeo are YouTube, Miro, and Joost. I feel out of all these sites that Vimeo is the easiest to work with and most efficient site. Unlike YouTube where it can take time for videos to load where as Vimeos videos load immediately. Also sometimes videos on YouTube can not be as what they are described as and can be fake videos.

12. Educational Use This site could be used educationally if a student is doing a documentary movie they could post it for others to see and get feedback on what people thought of their movie. In business it can be used by workers sharing collaborations of plans they’re projecting to a boss by sending them a video if the boss is in a different location than their office. Finally it can be used at home for your own viewing pleasure. I use Vimeo to upload snowboarding videos of myself to see how my riding is doing and to all hear what others have to say about it.

13. CREATION The users control everything on the site by uploading their own videos. Users uploading their videos are able to show people all over the web their creations via Vimeo.
