Since no one else seems to be :) Here are some suggested tweets (still thinking of longer FB/G+ messages folks should feel free to expand)
If we want to 1 larger tweet:
Huge thanks to those YouTubers who created great #ProjectForAwesome https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ProjectForAwesome videos supporting @ Wikimedia https://twitter.com/Wikimedia & @Wikipedia https://twitter.com/Wikipedia http://www.projectforawesome.com/charity/wikimedia-foundation
Personally I'd kinda like to send out 3 individual tweets for the 3 videos that were created because that way we could individually call out/thank the different youtubers who created them (which I think would make them very excited, and be good for both sides) Anyone have thoughts on that?

Actually, NOW copying this into the SM list (in fact creating a new thread on SM list because it was rejected when both lists were on the same thread for privacy reasons).

I think so, do we want to share this specific video or all of them? (either separately/spread out or as one big link to the category).

On a side note: The name of the foundation they put together to run the project (after the two founders ran it themselves for a while) has the best name I've ever seen for a non-profit: The Foundation to Decrease World Suck http://fightworldsuck.org/
