Barry Diller’s IAC is reportedly looking to sell half of Vimeo.  Last night PandoDaily’s Erin Griffith reported that “two sources familiar with the situation” say that IAC is pairing a spinoff of Vimeo with a $50 million round of funding.  IAC has yet to comment and allegedly a similar rumor several years ago “never came to fruition.”  Still, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
