Yay! and congrats to the judges choice winners! We've had a blast working with the guys at Mashable to keep this show on the road, and I'd like to say a huge thanks to them all for the effort. It isn't as easy as it looks.
I still say Vimeo deserves the video award way more than YouTube, but what do I know?
One thing, it does show how hard it is to get traction in an established web 2.0 niche. Sane upload limits, pretty interface, less noise, amazing video quality and real HD vs. Chocolate Rain. Winner? Chocolate Rain, by a landslide. Sigh.
I still love you, Vimeo.
