NEW YORK, August 17, 2010 - Online video sharing site Vimeo(R), an operating business of IAC (Nasdaq:
IACI), will release later today a Universal Player that allows people to
watch embedded Vimeo videos on mobile devices such as iPhone or iPad using
HTML5. The site has also added a new Watch Later feature into all versions of
its player that allows viewers to mark a video for future viewing.

Universal Player:

"With the latest generation of browsers and devices, we've had huge
demand for an embeddable player that works with HTML5 and on devices like
iPad and iPhone," said Andrew Pile, Vice President of Product and Development
for Vimeo.

Vimeo's new embeddable player detects the capabilities of the browser and
will deliver the optimum player version (Flash, HTML5, or native) with the
appropriate video definition (HD, SD, mobile) and playback codec (h.264,
webm) - all while maintaining set customization and privacy features.

Pile added, "The new embeddable code is highly scalable and allows us to
continue to add support as new browsers and devices are released, for example
serving HTML5 to IE9 and our Flash mobile player to Android phones running
Flash 10.1."

Watch Later:

Watch Later is a one button solution that lets people save videos for
later viewing. Vimeo built the Watch Later button into every version of the
Vimeo player. Now, people can access their Watch Later videos by going to the
Watch Later album on Vimeo.com, the Vimeo channel on their Roku box or the
Vimeo mobile site. It's an easy way to queue up a high-quality playlist to
enjoy when people have more time. The Watch Later feature will also be added
to Vimeo's API.
