That’s so 2007

2007 saw a lot of new trends come to the fore. However, with so many new and exciting ideas its difficult to figure out what’s useful

I was catching up on some reading and saw Steve Clayton’s post entitled “What is a blog?” which links to a rather cool video explaining what a blog is in plain english

The video was created by CommonCraft and they have some other really useful videos explaining other concepts

Some of the others i really liked, (this is my first attempt at embedding video so if your reading this via the feed and can’t see them jump onto the actual page)

Social Bookmarking in plain english – (think del.icio.us)
