Vids We Like: Common Craft

I’ve been watching a lot of video over here at Smart Experience HQ, prepping for a new service we’ll be announcing soon. Our society now has a powerful dovetailing of affordable video cameras, broadband Internet access, affordable hard drives, and free/cheap video services in the cloud, so I think online video is going to be a huge contributor to all sorts of education.

If you haven’t heard of Common Craft yet go watch one of their videos now. They take on important but rather techie and abstract things like RSS and tell fast, funny, insightful stories about how they work.
