If you want the mess and hassle of fabricating a mist set-up that will have the area around your outside AC moist and algae ridden.
the h2O is lowering the temp of the AIR being drawn into the unit for cooling. You can do the same thing by building a "cover" or "lattice" or "lean-to" over your OUTSIDE unit which provides shade and some cooling without all the mess.

If you are in a dry climate, putting humidifiers in a room can help to cool things down. It makes no difference where you place them, unless by putting them next to the air conditioner puts the mist right into the flow of air.
If you are in a humid climate, using a humidifier will actually make the room seem warmer, not cooler.

I think it depends on the location. For example, I live in Houston and it is very humid here. If I were to use one, it would just make it wetter and hotter. If you live in a dry climate, then you would have better results. I think they are supposed to be used outside, though.
