Vimeo Launches Pro Service For Small Businesses

For years, Vimeo has been known as the underground creative alternative when it comes to video sites.  It has been a home for the artistic crowd, fostering a community where filmmakers, animators and video artists of all kinds could go for inspiration, praise and constructive criticism.  It has not been a home for business and commercial use.  Until this week.  Yesterday Vimeo launched a new service designed for small businesses.  Vimeo Pro is slated to compete with services like Sprout, Viddler and Google Apps Business Video to bring small businesses an “insanely affordable” alternative to video hosting.
