Remember the guys who use paper and video to explain RSS? If you aren’t already in the know, it is the best video presentation of What RSS Is in plain and casual English.
Created by the creative team of Common Craft which is the brainchild of Lee and Sachi LeFever. The duo who are passionate about their own unique product – Explanation. The idea is simple – Use paper and video to make complex subjects easy to understand in a short, unique, funny and understandable plain English.
Here are some of the creative products of Common Craft. They really are the best in their niche. You’ll enjoy it as much as I do.
Blogs in Plain English
RSS in Plain English
Social Networking in Plain English
If you have non-technical friends who are struggling to figure out the complexity of such social media, these videos might be of a help. Not only it is visually appealing, I appreciate the simple approach in the way everything is explained. I admit I really enjoy watching those classic paper cut-out videos and look forward to more of such entertaining video presentations from the LeFevers.
Oh ya, check out also Twitter in Plain English.

Great videos–simple, but very clear and instructional. Fantastic post–I’ve recommended this to my colleagues! It’s a great site for beginners that you’ve got here. :)
@June: Thanks for stopping by. Glad you love the video as much as I do. They are the best, aren’t they?
PS: How did you get to know this blog, may I ask?
@Yan-
Hi! I just stumbled into it. Followed a trail of links then I was here! I really can’t recall through which links exactly, but I’m glad to have found your blog. It’s very informative and helpful to beginners like me. You’re now in my faves list. :D
@June: Thanks for your kind comment. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed as well if you have not done so.
Are you in the midst of starting your own blog?
Wow, Yan, so this was what started it. Back then I couldn’t imagine that I’d be writing posts here! Btw, I did recommend those videos to my colleagues, as part of our online writing training sessions. :)
Yeah, time flies, eh? We have known each other for 6 months now. Little did I realize then that you’ll be part of TSB today.
BTW, what made you revisit this article again?
I am a serial clicker on links LOL. Saw it on the related posts/Did you miss any of these? list under the “5 Tips for Blogging in English” article. I totally forgot I’ve visited this article before, until I saw the videos…then my own comments. :)
