Nice Type
Shameless promo for my Vimeo channel, showcasing the best typographical explorations and oddities on the site. If you’re a Vimeo user and spot anything that belongs in Nice Type, drop me a line.

Vimeo’s Channels 2.0 is now live, and what an improvement. They’ve really done well separating groups from channels, with the option of converting your existing channel to a group if your focus is more around discussion. It’d be nice to have a little more control over the layout templates, for example I’d like to be able to show more videos on the homepage of my Nice Type channel, particularly as there’s a big empty space below the list now.

From Clayton Cubitt’s side-by-side comparison of the default video quality on Vimeo (left) and YouTube (right):
100% screen grab, from each site’s page (not embedded, and not Vimeo’s HD page), from same 720p source video. On top of it, the YouTube version’s motion was about as smooth as a webcam in 1997.
Vimeo Plus!
Increased weekly storage, HD embedding, player customisations, ad-free for US$59.95 per year. Here’s the announcement.
They are a site dedicated to original, personal creations and they are willing to enforce that idea by alienating large blocks of users who feel otherwise. Bravo.

More URL niceness
- We’ve added an advanced option to give an individual post a custom URL.
If you don’t want Tumblr automatically adding a summary to your permalink URLs, you can now disable the option “Use descriptive URLs” on your Customize page. (Disqus users: Please do not adjust this setting just yet.)
We’re also beginning to test an even nicer (!) URL format, inspired by the smart smart people at Vimeo. We’re hoping to drop the
/post/label, and simply link tohttp://www.davidslog.com/1029. What do you think? You can check it out on Marco’s tumblelog.
Asked and answered, hooray. Now I have some editing to do, uh oh.
