Vimeo, You Mock Me
By leelefever on July 29, 2007 - 3:30pm.
Let me start by saying I like Vimeo. The video host has great features (like the thumbnail chooser), a personal attitude and slick interface. For our purposes, we like Vimeo because they focus on controlling privacy - you can share a video with just one person. We use it to share rough cuts of videos with clients. Vimeo does a lot of things well.
That is why I'm both perplexed and disappointed by an experience lately. We tested the privacy system to see what happens when we share video with someone who is not a member.
Sachi is a member and added me (using an old email address) to her list of people with access to a video. I received this email:
Sachi wants to share! Yaay!
I then clicked the link and saw this page:
Whaaa? Boooo!
It's great that the privacy works, but how about a little more information about the remedy? What do I need to do to see the video that has been shared with me?
How about adding this tiny bit of information:
"You must become a member (or be a logged-in member) of Vimeo to view a protected video. You can do that here."
That would help a lot. Thanks!
you're right
We do need to fix that, you're right. I would estimate we'll have it done within two weeks. Unfortunately, it's one of many not-immediately-obvious problems, all of which we have to deal with.
Thanks Jakob
I'm impressed that you responded so quickly (and not to mention transparently). Cheers!
My hero trip, the romantic sad
In the hero game, I only know one thing. Buy Hero Online Gold also you also need spent you reality money. In the game, I recognized him. I and he met by chance, but it did give me a bit obsessed with me. I liked to stand next to him was his sense of protection, I also liked quietly watch him to play the game. I also liked saw him wear beautiful clothes. I also liked that he said me lovely.
