When you really want to reach a wide audience, OA is the solution. But when an OA article in a journal or repository isn't enough, how about an OA video on YouTube?
For background, see Paul Thacker, Fighting a Distortion of Research, Inside Higher Ed, December 19, 2006. Don't miss the comments at the end of the article.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
