Adobe on Youtube
Ever since videoblogging became a rage, we have seen various kinds of official youtube channels coming up from the Royal Monarchy to Paris Hilton to FIFA 2008. Corporations whose modern marketing techniques now involve reaching people by helping and alluring them with inside information didn't take long to catch up with the trend.
I am not sure, but Google might have been one of the first to use this medium, effectively, having started way back in September 2005. Since then, it has launched several channels like Google Developers, Life at Google, and Google Privacy.
Recently, Adobe jumped on the bandwagon and started its first official Flex channel called "This Week in Flex". The weekly channel provides news and updates about the Flex & AIR community. Each episode is typically around 200s, and the "App of the Week" has been my main attraction.
The most recent video (third) was about the upcoming 360|Flex Conference (August 18-20, 2008), the first all Flex/Apollo themed conference; Adobe MAX Conference (November 16-19, 2008), which has early bird discounts until the end of August; and finally App of the Week, The Wanderlust Chronicles, David Jedeikin's travel blog.
In case you weren't thrilled with the blooper (not like at the end of Jackie Chan movies, right?), it's not a weekly feature. It has also been made clear in the second video that the channel wouldn't have any tech videos. You may however checkout their subscriptions, the TutVid and Adobe Tutorials channels for that.

Surprisingly enough, videoblogging goes back to 2002:
