Great videos for social media and communications teaching

I love email lists. Find a good one, and they can still work better than facebook groups or Google Plus... Recently, I posted this set of links on the list run by the Association for Learning Technology where I've received so much useful information in the past. It got a great response, so I thought I'd blog it. They are in no particular order.
