Random Imeem questions

[starrylizard]

For those vidders hanging around, is Imeem still considered better/safer than Youtube or are they pretty much on par these days? I know they had various deals with big record companies etc. similar to Youtube, but I often hear vidders tell me it's so much better.

Is it just because of the quality or is it actually safer somehow? Or is Imeem more of a community?

Would anyone be interested if I had my vids up there? I have a few up on Imeem that people asked me to upload, but otherwise I haven't used it.

*shrugs and looks to flist* I don't really get Imeem, but I'm willing to play if it's worth the time. :)

Speaking as a vid watcher with a freakishly old mac, anytime anything from imeem tries to load, my browser crashes. I've got video content suppressed when viewing LJ because of it. :-P Youtube is okay unless the video was loaded at HQ, then the playback tanks and jerks regardless of whether it's fully loaded or not.

But, like I said, freakishly old mac, and as such it doesn't represent most of your viewing audience.

*hugs* I understand totally, I used to be on dial up, back when I was in Sydney, and I did the same thing. I dled vids and hoped they were worth the several hours dl time, because watching them on youtube was ridiculously impossible. I guess that's why all these sites are new and interesting to me now. :)
