I wanted to listen to Turin Brakes’ version of the Talk Talk song Ascension Day. This is what Google returned:

1. A Vimeo link in HD without ads
2. A YouTube link with some ads
3. A DailyMotion link with many ads

Vimeo is an independent company located in New York City. They focus on delivering high quality products.

YouTube is a Google service. They focus on delivering high quality products. They are also listed on NASDAQ. Wall Street loves advertising.

DailyMotion is owned by France Telecom. It is the second largest phone company in the world. They are listed on NYSE. Wall Street loves advertising.

Please stay independent, Vimeo.

Oh, and here is the wonderful song:

The director, Philip Bloom, blogged about the music video here.

    Cheers for posting

    I do love Vimeo but they are owned by the rather huge IAC corporation!
