Technology nowadays has become a big part of everybody’s life. Social media, RSS, podcasts, & blogs are among the most discussed topics when it comes to Web 2.0. Unfortunately, not everybody is familiar with the latest buzz words in tech sector. It was not long ago when I talked to people who didn’t even know what Twitter is. So what can we do to educate those people on the best usage of the Web 2.0 tools?

Commoncraft has created a video series which covers subjects “in plain English.” The founders Lee and Sachi LeFever use paper cut-outs in their explanation videos. Each video is short, simple, and fun to watch. Most importantly, they are informative. I have selected the best 10 videos in the technology category, covering the following subjects:

  • Twitter
  • Blogs
  • Social Media
  • Social Bookmarking
  • Podcasting
  • RSS
  • Social Networking
  • Google Reader
  • Wikis
  • LinkedIn

    I discovered Common Craft last year and found their simple, easy to follow explanations to be a great springboard to understanding the big picture. As is often the case, less is more -- and when it comes to staying current with evolving technology and social media-- this is absolutely true! Bravo for keeping things simple!
