Vimeo Toys are “interactive visualizations of what’s happening right now” on Vimeo.
Though Vimeo encourages anyone to make a toy and submit it for approval, they’ve seeded the site with the first two: VimeoLand and Pulse.
Of the two, VimeoLand is definitely my favorite, as I really haven’t seen anything else like it before. VimeoLand is an interactive landscape with people walking around and a plane flying overhead, and each person represents an action by one of the Vimeo users. Clicking on a person brings up a like, a comment, an upload or a signup by a Vimeo user, and clicking on the plane drops a random video from the plane’s cargo.
While it’s not particularly useful, it definitely shows off the potential of Vimeo Toys, and makes me eager to see what’s coming out next.

And the winner is…
wendy_q420
Congratulations!
Just to clarify my methods, I put each name that entered the contest into an Excel spreadsheet (there were 6 names) in the order that they commented. (stephen first, superdude4agze second, etc.)
Then, I created a formula to randomly pick a number between 1 and 7 (1.00->6.99). The formula was RAND()*(7-1) 1. The number that it came up with was 4.1001456. Thus, since the whole digit was 4, wendy_q420 was the winner, as she was the fourth person to comment.
If anyone sees any fault with the above logic, please let me know, and I’ll draw again. Otherwise, keep an eye out for the next Swag Bag giveaway!
For today’s TGI Friday, I’m going to give away the first of what I’m going to call ‘The Swag Bag’. (If I can find a way of doing this on a regular basis.)
The Swag Bag will be filled with various things from various companies, and though it might not have a high financial value, it will be free, so no complaining.
This weeks bag features Mimoco and Design By Humans.
To enter, just comment on this post with one thing that you either like or don’t like about DYH.
On Sunday, I’ll randomly select one of the comments, and that author will win the bag. (Keep in mind that to ship this, I will need your address, so you must be willing to give that up; though I won’t know the difference between a real and a fake name, so you can at least keep that one a secret if you wish.)
Now stop reading and start commenting!
…Vimeo Toys are fun to play with?
