Elwha Dam Video and Vimeo Videos Generally

[Scott K.]

If you guys haven’t seen it, you should check out the Undamming the Elwha Video – recently posted on Vimeo – relatively well done.  http://vimeo.com/40519851

This brings up a continuing frustration I have with Vimeo.  Namely, that it has tons of really, really cool videos.  (See: Flight of the Frenchies (http://vimeo.com/31240369), Undercity (http://vimeo.com/18280328), Riding High (http://vimeo.com/27267942), Paraskiing Utah (http://vimeo.com/17909042), Industrial Revolutions (http://vimeo.com/30043673), and any of the BombFlow kayak videos by these guys (http://vimeo.com/user7690419),

BUT Vimeo makes it nearly impossible to discover new content actually on Vimeo – 99% of the time, I find Vimeo’s content from a link on an external site.  It doesn’t smartly suggest similarly awesome videos and Vimeo’s categories feature has a really terrible signal / noise ratio.  It just feels too much like a scavenger hunt, which is too bad given all of the great stuff up there.

Besides commiserate, I really want to know a couple of things from you folks.  

First, am I doing something wrong?

Second, what Vimeo videos would you recommend as awesome?
