While we are on the subject of great informational videos, here is one I found through David Ronnie, an ECU 2nd year I met briefly at the beginning of the semester:
It is a visual explanation of why things are the way they are today:

GE Augmented Reality
I found something rather amazing when doing research for my Ideation 3 class in the Communication and Ideation Design program at Langara College. I stumbled upon a site for General Electric titled "Plug Into The Smart Grid". The site was designed by the talented crew at North Kingdom who continually push the envelope of creative online experiences.The site leverages experiential design to educate the user on GE's commitment to Smart Grid technologies.But the real show stopper is the Augmented Reality component of the site. It allows you to see a digital hologram of Smart Grid technology literally in the palm of your hands. You really have to SEE it to BELIEVE it. Just follow the instructions and enjoy.

NikePlus Website
I started running so I could eat cookies whenever I felt like it - now I run to hang out on Nikeplus.com.
Nikeplus.com isn’t just a website to track times and distances, it is also a place for runners to compete and trash talk.
For those of you who don’t know, the Nikeplus system is a sensor in your shoe that tracks your speed and distance from a run. That data is collected and sent wirelessly to a receiver attached to an iPod which can then be uploaded to the Nikeplus site.
Even if you don’t use the Nikeplus system, it’s worth signing up for a membership. There is a great “Community” section where you can chat with other Nikeplus users as well as race against them.
They’ve recently added a great tool called “Map It” that uses Google Maps technology to help plan out running routes ahead of time. Before my trip to Tokyo and Manila, I was able to check distances and see my actual route via Google Earth. So cooool.
My favorite cookies are Oreo, Blake’s and the grandma ones with white icing and mystery red jam.
