I'd argue that the unpolished application videos are the best. I really like the video that the guys from DirectedEdge submitted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nTFBO5lvGc). This video demonstrates that there is chemistry between the two founders, identifies the problem/opportunity, and clearly explains their solution. I wasn't in the room, but this video appears to be spontaneous.

I can't speak to the timing of it all. But, given the data points available I'd say rough videos and applications free of marketing speak are the best.
