Mainframe...funnier than Jerry Seinfeld?
This week we had two big blog hits for the Mainframe comedy video series "The Art of the Sale."
1) ZDNet's post "Has IBM Figured Out The
Art Of The
2) Columnist Geoffrey James (New York Times, Brand World, CIO) writes in his post,
I've yet to see any that so vividly encapsulate the world of high-tech B2B selling as this incredibly accurate series. These six short videos provide as good an education about how B2B sales is actually practiced in real life as you'd get out of a hundred hours of expensive sales training. Just watch them. Trust me.
and from the "old news" file, the series was selected by Comedy Central as "Staff Favorite" and finalist in it's web video contest, and playing on ComedyCentral.com.

I concur. These videos are entertaining even if you are not in the market for this type of equipment. There should be a site that corporations, writers, and producers could post to and share their videos and multimedia presentations. Kind of a "You Tube" for the corporate world, maybe "Inc Tube"? I recall that one of the transitional projects that John Cleese worked on (post-Python) were Corp instructional videos in his style. I bet those are also as watchable as "Mainframe".
