Making complex ideas simple

Some of my friends have complained that I refer to technical things they don't understand, or care about, to often; like RSS, blogs, social bookmarking, etc. Although many of them may never need to know about them, it is important for indie artists and musicians to understand all of these concepts. They can be valuable in helping promote yourself, gather information and make money.

I came across this great company, Common Craft, that describes many of these ideas with short simple videos. Check them out here:
