Complex Explanations in ‘Plain English’

Yesterday I mentioned how much I appreciated the Mobile Reader application Google features on its new 2008 Presidential Election site, but did so under the false assumption that most already know how RSS feeds work.  The reality is that all of this online “stuff” can be confusing, and it’s why I wanted to share with you a site that I subscribe to daily –Common Craft.

Common Craft uses a whiteboard and paper approach to making complex explanations easy to understand, by cutting out unnecessary noise and focusing on the concepts that matter.  Below you will see its latest custom video describing how Google Reader works.
