Many folks outside of the technology bubble might not understand and appreciate terms like RSS and Social networking if not for the Common craft style of videos, which explain such complicated terminology (to the outside world) in plain English; kinda like what Oprah does on her show. Language that can be easily understood even by folks who don’t dabble in technology.
Here’s what Common Craft defines themselves as:
We use video and paper to make complex ideas easy to understand.
We present subjects “in plain English” using short, unique and understandable videos in a format we call Paperworks.
I’m really excited to share with you a 2.5 minute video that provides a quick overview of what LinkedIn is and shows you how to leverage LinkedIn’s power to advance your career (Disclosure: I work at LinkedIn as community evangelist).
Here’s the video. What do you think? Leave a comment or two.

Great video and one I’d like to use in a presentation I’m giving to my attorneys. I’m the Marketing Director at a Cleveland, Ohio-based law firm and I need to educate my internal “clients” on the benefits and overall usage of LinkedIn….pros/cons, social networking in general, etc. Can I possibly “borrow” this clip, citing you in my preso??
Please feel free to use the clip, @Tia.
It’s meant for sharing with folks who still don’t get professional networking
Hey there – fabulous!!! Will do and also will let you know how it all turns out. Have a great day.

Good one…as you see, I have taken the liberty to post the video on my blog (www.mindinspirations.com).
Please continue forwarding to your friends, esp. the ones quizzical about LinkedIn and its value proposition.
Thanks, Mario! I, too, would like to borrow it, for a presentation I’m doing for Automation Alley (our local tech consortium). May I? Orrr… maybe LinkedIn would fly you to Detroit to present to the group.
Mario – great work. May I borrow this for a presentation I’m doing at our local tech consortium?
Please feel free to use it – that was the intent: to communicate the value proposition in simple terms.
