YouTube can be a procrastinator’s heaven. But it can also be informative, entertaining and thought provoking. Here are three videos I recently viewed on YouTube that I wanted to share.

Start your week off on YouTube to learn about past marketing campaigns, start a conversation in your office or just get your creative juices flowing with a good laugh. Enjoy.

The Now Sprint Commercial. Ok, I really saw this on TV first, but then saw it again on YouTube. This is a great example of a company appealing to the social media savvy while still reaching old-fashioned media audiences who watch television instead of chatting on Twitter or Facebook.

Will it Blend? This YouTube campaign has been around for a while, but I just learned about it last week from a blog post by Zeus Jones, “The Best Social Media Marketing.” The people at Blendtec bring energy, humor and interest to a product as simple and everyday as a blender. With almost 3.5 million channel views, this proves social media can benefit just about any business- it is not just for the tech and teen products.

Network- Turn off your TV! Ending with something entertaining and thought provoking. I found this video thanks to my younger brother’s personal blog. The clip from the 1976 movie is cynical yet inspiring, and still applicable today. The brilliant performance by Peter Finch brings to mind today’s media conglomerates, closing news companies, rumors of Google and other vying to buy Twitter, the changes of how we communicate with each other and much more.
