conversations

islebehere: did you see some of the comments?

islebehere: some people really need to get a life

aaonvimeo: oh yeah. wow

islebehere: maybe we should offer them FREE vimeo accts so they'd have something to do!

aaonvimeo: some people really hate people they've never met and don't know anything about

aaonvimeo: I think they already have accts at youtube

islebehere: LOL!

discussing her internship with cv/vimeo this summer:
___________________________________

duplo: I'm trying to act smart though since I'll be there at cv next week. I don't want to be pestering them with too many questions so that they all hate me by the time I arrive!

islebehere: haha! i doubt that'll happen. throw the dimples, automatic forgiveness!

duplo: haha

duplo: I'm basically staking my entire summer on my dimples.

you bettah recognize, yo

the other day, dalas started an AIM chat. it started with me, ThommyBrowne and himself. it grew to over 20 people in there at once, including Jakob-founder of Vimeo. here's just a smidgen of it:

Jakob Lodwick: what are your Vimeo names? I recognize islebehere but I don't know everyone else
islebehere: 2 hours for a 20 second clip? what are you working on
madc713: lex productions
sopitajones: Erick C.
lopsangthesherpa: <--Thommy Browne
Jakob Lodwick: oh jeez
Jakob Lodwick: I thought you were a bunch of strangers

just another example of how vimeo is more a "community" than any other video hosting site on the web. it has it's downfalls, don't get me wrong. you can spend a lot of time just watching the videos and working on collaborations with other users. i've become such a nerd since getting really involved. so much so, that Addie and I will be working on a collaboration when i go visit next weekend.

get ready Addie. i wanna see your best PIP PERFORMANCE!
