Jakob Lodwick admits he needs help

I like the idea of that, what he's saying. Though there are a lot of entertainment people playing in video and some who have started sites (not necessarily 'filmmakers') but the concept is cool enough and may differentiate them.

The only thing, is says nothing about being a site for filmmakers or whatever on Vimeo's landing page when you go there. And rather than giving HD (or in addition to), they should have created editing tools for users. Brightcove and some others off this, I think it's much more in step with the current market than HD is at the moment.

"Why do you put very personal videos of yourself on the web for pretty much anyone to see?"

"It improves my relationship with the rest of the world.

Anybody who's the slightest bit interested in me can find out what I'm up to. And can help me with my problems."

Why, yes, Jakob, we've all been put on this earth just to help you with your problems.

Huh! Of all the potential self-absorbed responses to that question, that might possibly be the most self-absorbed one!

Dude - the rest of the world doesn't have a *relationship* with you. They watch you for amusement. You know, like Paris Hilton or Britney Spears ... or Bozo the Clown.

@Scott Kidder: New plan. Allow copyrighted content and porn. Sell site. Buy a film studio.

What? YouTube is totally different than Vimeo, as Jakob says himself.

If Vimeo allowed copyrighted content and porn, they probably could have been YouTube. Their design and UI is certainly much better. But instead, they've focused on creating a community of creative people. And it's awesome.

No. He's best known to the Valleywag EDITORS. The rest of us don't care.

Who wants to start a pool on how long it takes Jakob to reply to this?
