YouTube’s wacky privacy settings have sent me looking for a better way to share videos with friends and family. I’m trying out Vimeo and so far it seems pretty great. The biggest thing these sites don’t get is that it’s a bit much to coach my grandmother through signing up for their site just so she can see a video of her great-granddaughter. Vimeo handles this nicely with the password-protected feature: give your friends and family the password for your video and they can view it without signing up for Vimeo.  To wit, the password for the video embedded above is ‘friday’. 

I could do without the car ads on my video’s page though. I’d happily pay to have an ad-free page, but that doesn’t seem to be an option. Any suggestions for a family-oriented video sharing service that is dead simple for non-Web-2.0 peeps to use?
