YouTube vs Vimeo is pretty much what it has boiled down to for years. These are the heavy hitters. The mainstream options. The household names.So, does it matter which you go with? Are they more or less interchangeable? Is one going to noticeably serve your needs more than the other?Read on below for a breakdown of what these two services have to offer, who they’re likely to appeal to, and what you stand to gain or lose based on your choice. YouTube vs Vimeo: Basic functionsOn the surface, YouTube and Vimeo serve the same function. You can upload videos, and you can watch videos.For relatively small-scale creators, they can be used somewhat interchangeably, to upload videos and share them with an audience for free.But they’re very different platforms with very different aims. Which you choose will depend very much on your specific goals.Vimeo offers free and pay-per-view on-demand options for viewers, all ad-free, with a high-resolution image, and fees charged to uploaders.YouTube works differently.

Descendents 9th & Walnut Epitaph Jul 26, 2021 Web Exclusive By Matthew Berlyant The first Descendents album since 2016’s excellent Hypercaffium Spazzinate is not the long-awaited follow-up of new material that they’re currently working on, but instead older recordings made in 2002 and 2004 of material originally written, rehearsed, and played live by the band in their early years (1977-1980). Hence, the lineup on this is the same one that made their debut 7-inch “Ride the Wild” b/w “It’s a Hectic World,” 1980’s ‘”Fat” 7’-inch, and the 1982 stone-cold classic debut LP, Milo Goes to College. Confused? Well that is okay, but regardless, it’s always a treat to hear singer Milo Aukerman and drummer Bill Stevenson backed by the now late original guitarist Frank Navetta and original bassist Tony Lombrado, as they have a totally unique sound not really heard on any subsequent Descendents records. (These days Aukerman and Stevenson are usually joined by current bassist Karl Alvarez and guitarist Stephen Egerton, both of whom have played with Stevenson in Descendents and side-band ALL since a show in September 1986.) As such, this has more in common sonically with the aforementioned early (1980-1982) version of the band and at times…

Twitter is looking to hire a new grievance officer in India. The social network had hired an interim officer in June, who resigned, and then it had hired another grievance officer as an interim measure. The company has now placed a listing on LinkedIn over the weekend to hire someone for the role, something that both Facebook and WhatsApp are also looking for, according to listings on LinkedIn. The grievance officer job is part of the requirements as per the new IT Rules — companies like Twitter, Facebook, and Google have all had to hire a local grievance officer so that they can manage complaints and grievances from Indians.In February, the Indian government announced new IT regulations wherein social media platforms, OTT platforms, and other big tech firms will be required to set up a complaint redressal mechanism with an officer being based in the country. The social media and OTT platforms were required to remove any content flagged by authorities within 36 hours.Twitter put out a job listing looking for a “Resident Grievance Officer” in Mumbai. The platform was given a last notice by Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to comply with the new IT regulations…

Cindy Ord/Getty Images Andrew Zimmern is well known for trying every kind of food, edible creation, delicacy, and dessert ... even if it is way out of his comfort zone. Although the popular host and producer of the Travel Channels "Bizarre Foods" franchise has eaten some pretty outlandish foods, from dung beetles to sheep heads, he has also tasted some of the most decadent treats of the world (The Daily Meal). Zimmern loves the cuttlefish from Al Cavo in Venice, Italy, and he adores the sea urchin roe at Marea of NYC, which is one of his favorite foods to eat when he visits the Big Apple (per The Travel). And while Zimmern is revered for his unique TV persona and ability to eat almost anything, according to his website he is also a seasoned professional chef.  Truth be told, it might be fun to watch Zimmern eat rabbit brains, but his own recipes are really what we are living for, like his crispy crab cakes and famous key lime pie (via Zimmern's website). This is why it's odd that a dish he recently posted on his Instagram account is creeping his fans out.  A misunderstanding over pasta The dish he…

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IMS Digital Ventures, the venture building arm of Integrated Management Systems, one of the leading digital transformation agencies in Asia, is pleased to announce the closing of a US$ 1.5M pre-Seed round of OwlGaze in which it acted as the lead investor. OwlGaze offers companies an end-to-end predictive threat detection solution to identify, prioritise and prevent cyber attacks using advanced correlation and AI technology. Globally, companies ranging from small startups to large enterprises are increasingly affected by cyber threats and they struggle to keep up. “We do not only see a growth in the number of businesses that are targeted by cyber criminals, the attacks have become more and more sophisticated and the financial and operational impact that a successful attack can have, has increased as well,” according to Ralph Chammah, CEO of OwlGaze. “At the same time, the cybersecurity software market is highly fragmented and opaque for most clients. There is very limited cooperation between software vendors in the industry and many claims about the intelligence and effectiveness of various solutions are exaggerated at best. This was the reason why we started OwlGaze,” Chammah says. Apart from OwlGaze’s cyber advisory practice which guides clients through any cyber-related…

Earlier, last year,  Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, and Microsoft, or as those are collectively known — FAANGM stocks — surged higher in 2020 as investors moved out of smallcap companies and back to proven businesses amid rising inflation.  » Read More

This is despite these stocks not mirroring last year’s stellar performance this time around. The biggest technology names Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, and Microsoft, collectively called FAANGM stocks, have soared at least 14% each so far since January, as investors focused back on proven businesses amid rising inflation concerns. FAANGM stocks are the most dominant technology names listed on the tech-heavy NASDAQ index. Individually all FAANGM stocks, except Netflix, have outperformed KOSPI, KOSDAQ, Nikkei 225, Bovespa index, and even India’s NSE Nifty 50.Also Read: How to invest in Apple, Amazon,  » Read More
