Vimeo decided to opt out of the traditional “best of” or “year in review” posts pumped out at the end of every year. Instead, the online video platform has created an interactive Mood Screen, which will randomly pull up one of 2015’s best video selections for you to enjoy based on any number of different feelings you might be experiencing at the given moment.
In a blog post, Vimeo writes how the company “didn’t bother trying” to conceive of an annual report or timeline, and instead focused on creating their own video iteration of the classic mood ring. Internet users can click anywhere on the Mood Screen and let the magical crystal icon “divine your current disposition using a mystifying combination of pixie dust and pixels.” Mood categories include happy, hangry, calm, anxious, and even the text emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Based on a user’s (supposed) attitude at the moment, Vimeo will show a related clip considered to be one of 2015’s best videos on the platform.
“We decided to make something fun to show just how much we love you, our community, and all of the fabulous videos and creators within it,” Vimeo wrote in the blog post. “‘Tis the season for feeling all the feelings, so click away (or tap, if you’re on mobile) and share this moody, screeny experience with your friends and loved ones. That way, you won’t actually have to talk to them. Just jesting!”
