"In Plain English" Series for Web 2.0 Technologies

I've come across these before, but I keep forgetting to do anything with them. The common craft show is a once-monthly video that explains different Web 2.0 technologies "in plain English." Just re-viewed "Wikis in plain English," and I'm stunned at how simple and yet how spot-on it is.

They have a variety of short videos that are very useful and to the point, including

* wikis in plain English
* social bookmarking in plain English
* RSS in plain English

These might be very useful for courses, or even just to show people who are not totally in tune with Web 2.0 stuff yet.

Great link, Stevie. I can see use of this in our new orientation lesson as we move our courses into the Drupal environment. Thanks for posting!
