Web 2.0: Social Media in Plain English

Another great video from CommonCraft - this one explaining Social Media. I've posted a number of CommonCraft videos in the past - they're simple. very effective explanations of often difficult Web 2.0 concepts. There are some developments at CommonCraft to share. The first is the CommonCraft Store, where users can purchase and download high quality versions (640 x 480 for most; 1280 x 720 for some) of their videos. Prices are $18.99 for an individual license and $349.99 for a site license. They are also offering the Social Media Six-Pack - 6 videos (RSS, Wikis, Social Networking, Social Bookmarking, Blogs and Twitter) for the price of 5 ($94.95 individual or $1,749.95 site). You can also view the custom videos they've done for their clients, including PRWeb, Google Docs, Wetpaint Wikis, MyGads, California School Finance, Vancouver's I-Move, Google's My Location for Mobile Maps, Redfin, Enerjy, H & R Block's Tango, and Google Apps with Salesforce.com. I've read that they charge $40,000 per custom video. With out further delay, here is Social Media in Plain English.
