Handy videos

Whenever things show up in two different places online within a few days of each other, I tend to pay attention (memes sweeping LiveJournal don't count: that's effectively the same place).

In this case, two different sources (one the Thing 3 post from 23 Things On A Stick) and the other an email from a friend I'm doing a "Why are people online anyway" presentation for later this month.

They come from a company called Common Craft who mostly do work for various companies and other organizations - but they've got four great intro Web 2.0 videos.

• Social networking in plain English
  
• RSS in plain English
• Social bookmarking in plain English
• Wikis in plain English

I think they're great and beginning-user friendly, and they went promptly into the handout I'm working on for both presentations.
