Blogs, RSS and Social Media Explained

So, one of my friends recently commented to me that he didn’t understand what the difference between a normal website and a blog. I’ve also had people ask me what “RSS” meant. So I found a couple videos from common craft that do a really great job of explaining just exactly what all this stuff I’m interested in is.

First: Blogs

It does a spot on job of explaining how blogs are very individual news reporting sites, that open up media access to everyone.

If you want to see the videos on RSS and Social Networking, continue by following the link. The RSS video is really great for new users.

RSS Feeds – the explanation that RSS is like netflix as normal news sites are the video store is a great analogy. If you want to know what RSS is all about, check out the video.

Social Networking – showing how online social networking sites are valuable to normal relationships.
