Vimeo gets a redesign
A much needed revamp for the arty video community which hadn’t changed their visual appeal in ages (pretty much since it appeared back in 2004). And taking into account the explosion of “creative networks” elsewhere on the net, …

The whole platform is powered apparently by Audiosocket who are specialized in providing this kind of music-store platforms.
