Webware 100 winner: Vimeo

Vimeo is a video hosting and sharing site. Users can upload as much as 2GB of video a month, including high-definition video that plays in a gorgeous wide-screen player. One thing that sets it apart from other services is that it gives video creators the option to share the digital copies of their videos with others--not just the streaming version. When enabled, it lets registered Vimeo users download the original file to their hard drive for offline viewing.

Vimeo is also a social network, with a friends and subscription service, along with a way to both rate and favorite videos. This information goes into a new feed that you can monitor, helping you discover new and interesting videos that your Vimeo friends are enjoying.
