Vimeo sucks, they don't care about pets! Vimeo.com sucks

Read the conversation I had with these guys( Vimeo.com ), amazing they think they are so great I guess... humm I wonder if the investors would like to read this ! Mypoint of contact was three fold, I wanted them to feature a user that just skated a world record, 7,555mi around the earth, two let them know the pet world is huge and that I might be able to get them a person that has a huge following to try them versus the youtube he uses now. As the pet business is over 50Bil and pet people luv to share video, the idiot Blake tells me, were a video sharing site not a pet site. HaHa ya think like I had no idea, I thought maybe you all would consider changing and only showing Pet related Videos. you idiot Blake Whitman, like I don't understand what your site is, if you looked you would see I have a handful of videos at my vimeo account, damn. then the supposed top dog at vimeo messages me a two word response, Andrew Pile, humm luv that last name, Pile of what ???? I send him a detailed email and all he can muster up is TWO words! I have two words for Andrew " YOU TOOL " I won't be using teh slow vimeo anymore anyhow you guy's still need to work on bugs anyhow and your site is not so great that you need to have a fuck you attitude. I will stick to Revver.com and Youtube.com NOT Vimeo

Loosers... !

More to come !

Hey Andrew,

I see your pict first so I'm guessing your the top man at Vimeo.. I had an interesting conversation with Blake via IM, I don't think he understands what I was trying to explain to him, as he kinda had an attitude of were so cool at vimeo etc.. Read it below..

I'm Rene Bruce vimeo.com/user589485/videos

Ive been a sales rep for many years till 98 when my warehouse burnt to the ground lost 250k, then started up a bunch of new Co. from a staples table ( I invent stuff, I invent the rollerblade hockey, and agressive wheels) I helped pioneer snowboarding in so cal in the 90's then in 2000 rocked the razor scooters craze, I have sold stuff on QVC, now I'm in the pet business. I originally contacted him to suggest you feature a guy that just skateboarded 7,555 miles around the globe and has been posting some amazing vids on your site, Rob is truely amazing, and thought it being a Guiness Record you all might want to feature his lastest vid, maybe say congrats, or even do a PR that he finished and is a vimeo user, I would think You all want to grow your site.. anyhow at the same time I have a pal that does a HUGE dog site with over 30,000 people subcribed, he puts on a few dog events over the year, been on Jay Lenno, he works with Beauty Pagents, miss america and miss universe contestants ( maybe I can get him to try vimeo) check hautedogs.org and if he likes maybe he will spread the word etc.. but the reponse I got from Blake was not interested, he told me your NOT in the pet business, that your a video sharing site, Well ya think.. I'm not an idiot I have vids on your site to share, but I have had thousands upon thousands ( over 600,000 alone on just one wwe dane vide at myspace and pretty good on youtube) so I understand fully yoursite.. I just mentioned to him I can pass along as this Bevery Hills Chihuahua event his is doing this weekend could be huge and maybe if I can get him to do a vimeo, anyhow.. I'm rambling, but Blake said not interested, then he said, O yeah he can use vimeo if he would like, well with aht said, why exaclty would I want to promote your site when it sounds like you all have plenty of traffic and could careless to get good content ??? Is that the vision of Vimeo ?
Thanks.. sorry so long.. but u can read below.. I also own TopBroadcasters.com and am linked with lifecasting, I speak to Brad Greenspan on a reg basis so I understand web 2.0 maybe Blake thought I was some dumb chick or kid, I'm a Male 42yr. that has been around the block many times ;)



AIM IM with Blake Whitman .

Hey, a Pal Rob just finished a longboard skate around the world, he has lots of vid on your site, and you guys might consider featuring him or his last vid maybe, it's an amazing feat to pull off, 14degrees.org/en/?p=754 or vimeo.com/user434563 he skated 7,555 miles, not sure if you can comprehend that distance ( I speed skated from the gg bride to santa cruz yrs ago 95mi in 5.5hrs was crazy, but what rob did was truely amazing ! his vids are great considering he carries all his stuff with him on his journey, do a press release on it, will get ya some mad press, think about it ! Tanx !
1:15PM
ps. I'm the guy that has the harely riding dog, and surfing dog that shows up on yahoo news etc.. might consider featuring some of mine too.. I did one of my dane and min pin and it got over 650,000 hits on myspace tv last year..... the harely and surf vids are great and the pet industry is over 50Bil $ !
okie doke
1:20PM
U da Man !
btw, this weekend we are going to a HUGE Chihuahua beauty contest, I will tell Justin Rudd about your site as he has 30,0000 users that follow his site, hautedogs.org and he puts on vids.. also I might shoot vid and do a short vid to, since that movie Beverly HIlls Chihuahua hits Sat might be good for you all to jump on that bandwagon if youwant...?
what bandwagon are you talking about specifically?
1:25PM
Pet industry, the 50bil +
Disney spent a fortune on that movie
nah, we're cool
but thanks
really you don't care about attracting traffic from people that spend tons of $$ on pets right ?
what demographic are you targeting then ?
well, we're a video sharing site, not a pet site
1:30PM
hautedogs.org/ click this link tell me what video you see ???
Youtube ! wouldn't you rather have the 30,000 people he has signed up use Vimeo ?
1:35PM
If he wants to use Vimeo then he is welcome to


better question, who is in marketing that I can email ?
you can email me - blake@vimeo

haha.. I don't think so, your not getting it. I'll talk with Andrew or some one who understands marketing, thanks for your time, have a good week !

Fusionman/Jetman fly's across English Channel Yves Rossy

I stumbled across Yves Rossy a few years ago, can't remember how, but I do remember seeing his Insane video with one of my fav songs the first video is the first time I saw him but it had not hit youtube yet. Yves is a perfect example of how I have and live my life, you have to have a vision and go for it, he was married prior to this project and now is single, he has lots of goals, the other day he completed a major one for his jetwing, he crossed the English Channel using is invention! He's an ex military pilot from Austria, currently works as a commercial airline pilot, and spends his spare time, working on his jet wing! Go Yves you inspire many people to never give up and not listen to people that say it can't be done as well take an idea and move forward to make it come to reality! I thank you !
