This awesome brief video by the CommonCraft Show has been floating around the web for a little while now: Social Networking in Plain English explains, well, social networking. Quick and easy, in under 2 minutes. This is great stuff, really!

Thanks to Lee LeFever for releasing the video under a Creative Commons license, and for putting in on dotSub, which allowed me to quickly add the German subtitles as you see them in the first of the two videos above. (Other translations include Basque, Catalan, traditional Chinese, Dutch, French, Hebrew, Indonesian… the list goes on. How awesome is that?)
