I thought I’d share some interesting datapoints...the company I work for, FaceTime, just released the results of our annual survey on the use of collaborative Internet applications, and YouTube in particular has really gained in business use over last year, 34% of end users said they use it for work purposes. The survey results reveal a couple of things - the line between personal time and business hours is blurring, most of us are available around the clock and so the tools we use, and when, reflect that. Second, these tools are gaining traction in business and continue to do so. The more we communicate and demonstrate their value, the more quickly they’ll be embraced.

I think there are a host of innovators in this space on Vimeo, both in terms of what companies are doing AND in terms of finding people to do the video work. For instance "Fifty People, One Question" from New Orleans was very, very cool by Benjamin Reece. There is just an amazing community on both Vimeo and Viddler of amazingly talented filmmakers and creatives that are just waiting to be tapped.

A Ford dealer in my area started a Facebook group page, and everyone who joined the group started getting 'big sale! $500 off today!' messages. Daily. Media of any sort is all, and always, about telling a story - who you are, why you matter, what value you bring to the table. Anything less is noise.

OW! I have to agree with Pedro--that YouTube is so much more than what it immediately might seem to be and that context can make a world of difference. For example, I'm thinking of the Lip Dub Flagpole Sitta that Connected Ventures did, (http://www.vimeo.com/173714). Suddenly they were on the map for me and in one fell swoop they entertained, gave you an idea of their culture, how well they worked together and collaborated and at the same time you experienced some of the power of Vimeo, one of their products. Demonstrating the possibilities and the differences is key, as you suggest. One of my coworkers thinks that the only successful business videos are the ones that show humor (skit or spoof sort of thing...like the Mac/PC ads), whereas he probably has never seen some of the other types of applications such as that Google keynote or perhaps a successful interactive executive interview. He just hasn't had the chance to see and believe. That's what is so great about video though! I have to admit that the naysayer video made my stomach lurch. OW!
