            As of December 2011, Vimeo has attracted 65 million unique visitors per month and more than 8 million registered users. 15% of Vimeo’s traffic comes from mobile devices. 
           Vimeo is a simpler and more intuitive than YouTube service. Vimeo was created by filmmaker for filmmakers, so all their wishes intuitively have been taken into account:

• Vimeo is a simple and intuitive, stylish interface.

• User actions are limited by the “Creative Commons” license.

• You can protect the video with a password.

•  You can choose an icon for a video and a brief reference to it.

•  It's easy to choose an author of the video with a link to the video page (but only if the author is your friend)

•  Nothing more. And the audience is extremely serious and creative.

        YouTube with its subscriptions, TV and video links to other pages is more suitable for a video blogging and music promotion, rather than for a filmmaker portfolio creating.
