Vimeo launches Android, WP7 mobile apps; previews revamped iPhone, iPad apps | VentureBeat.

Vimeo’s site traffic from mobile has more than doubled in the last year.

Joe Schmitt, Vimeo’s head of mobile, told us that the percentage of mobile-based site traffic has doubled in the last year. He said Vimeo’s total traffic coming from mobile was at 7 percent in Jan. 2010 and that now sits at 15 percent.

Minitube 1.7 Released PPA ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog.

Being able to download Youtube videos is not exactly what was intended by the owners of Youtube. However, it seems as though they have turned a somewhat blind eye to the practice. This is why applications like minitube keep getting developed.

Minutube, a simple application which you can use to download and play YouTube videos without Flash, has reached version 1.7.
Among the most important changes in Minitube 1.7 are:
Clickable usernames in the playlist (so you can see more videos from a certain user/channel)
“Manually start playing” option
“Stop after this video” option
Window “Float on Top” option
Ability to skip to the previous video
