Dear Tommy Tornroos After months of planning, programming, video watching, talent wrangling, late-night take-out eating, and fervent finger-crossing, the 2012 Vimeo Festival + Awards really actually happened! We did it! Again! The Festival + Awards took place June 7-9 in New York City, and whether you attended or just want to live vicariously through those who did, here's a look at how it all went down:
| The Awards show was awesome
Featuring live performances by Reggie Watts and Beardyman, the 2012 Awards celebrated the world's best videos — and their creators — using a combination of insane technology, mind-melting musical numbers, and good old-fashioned human emotion. We presented 13 category awards, three honorary awards, and one whopping Grand Prize, which went to Everynone for "Symmetry."
Please please please watch all the winning films and get a slick recap of the night in our Awards highlights video. |  Watch Awards highlights |
| The Festival brought us all together The Vimeo Festival was one wild weekend of riveting conversations, skill-sharpening workshops, and screenings of our favorite videos. We had an amazing time hanging out with Vimeo aficionados from around the world, and we were continually reminded that what makes Vimeo special is (sincerity alert!) the people who use it. Check out some of our favorite Festival moments via videos we captured during the weekend:
Be awestruck by Dr. Reginald Watts' brilliant keynote address.
Get emotional as 2010 Grand Prize winner Eliot Rausch premieres his new film, "LIMBO."
Think about Internet memes as June Cohen predicts the future of viral videos.
Finally, we finished off the Festival by shaking our booties to beats from DJ Spooky and Motion Potion at the Closing Party. And we've got pictures to prove it. |  See more Festival videos |

We thought you might be interested in knowing about some of our most recent developments: | | | | In addition, we've made a number of updates to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. | | Here are some of the main changes to our Privacy Policy, with links for more information: | - We've provided more details about the information we collect and how we use it to deliver our services and to improve Twitter. One example: our new tailored suggestions feature, which is based on your recent visits to websites that integrate Twitter buttons or widgets, is an experiment that we're beginning to roll out to some users in a number of countries. Learn more here.
- We've noted the many ways you can set your preferences to limit, modify or remove the information we collect. For example, we now support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting, which stops the collection of information used for tailored suggestions.
- We've clarified the limited circumstances in which your information may be shared with others (for example, when you've given us permission to do so, or when the data itself is not private or personal). Importantly, our privacy policy is not intended to limit your rights to object to a third party's request for your information.
| | In our Terms of Service, we've clarified how your relationship with Twitter works and made a number of small changes and formatting improvements, such as new headings for easy reference and updated descriptions of our services. | | Take a moment to read our new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and thanks for using Twitter. | | The Twitter Team | | | | | | | | |

View it in your browser. | | Dear Google user, We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google. We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.
| One policy, one Google experience
|  | |  | |  | | Easy to work across Google Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease. | | Tailored for you If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster. | | Easy to share and collaborate When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors. |
| | Protecting your privacy hasn't changed Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests). | | Got questions?
We've got answers. Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.) | | |
| | Notice of Change March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information. |
