"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.
