Blender has quite a presense on YouTube. If you haven't heard of or visited YouTube its a website for people to watch and share original videos.
And of the videos on the site you'll find many devoted to Blender. You can watch video tutorials, Blender feature demonstrations and some great examples of Blender in use. Elephant's Dream has even been uploaded to YouTube.
Here are just a few of the examples:
To find more blender videos just do a search for "blender 3d". And make sure to join and share your videos with the world.

shameless self-promotion in 5...4...3...2...

Check out this and my other videos... some cool blender tests.
Weiredhat's composition video of Colbert is also quite popular on youtube.
and a bit of self promotion: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mpan3 this is for people who don't have the patience to access my site.
A couple of weeks ago I read something scary about licensing in youtube. Something like you gave them full rights of the material you upload to their network.
I didn't check it out because I don't use youtube, but it would be a good idea to read the legal stuff before uploading something, just in case.
edited: I've looked at Youtube's terms of use and I can see I'm wrong.
It's not as bad as I thought, although the term 5.B is something to keep an eye on.
Gez - I read some hero celebrity demanded they change the agreement, and they did. what you saw were the revised rights. they were pretty bad. I'm more worried about people stealing the clips than anything else, although youtube quality is so bad they couldn't do much with it...

Not sure where they read that, or where they did. Here is a snippet from TOS.

Hopefully YouTube wouldn't use anyones material as anything more than an ad for the site which would actually be a pretty considerable complement.
I've been pleasantly surprised to just randomly come across animations on YouTube made in Blender. What a great form of exposure!
