Video of Twitter Broken Down Into Plain English

Thursday, March 6th, 2008 | Twitter, Video

Found via one of Chris Brogan’s tweets, this is a shining example of what happens when you realize the need to explain a social trend/community, have a camera handy, and enjoy making collages/paper cut-outs.

Created by the folks over at CommonCraft, this is a great 2.5 minute video explaining Twitter – from it’s beginnings to it’s common usage in today’s society and more importantly, why you should be using it too. Really nicely done, this doesn’t look like it was just thrown together in a few minutes, it even sounds like they put some effort into making the narrator’s voice come out clean and crisp…i.e. actual production values… As far as I’m concerned, this is the new PSA for Twitter.

Nicely done.
