If you’re a geek like me, you’re always being called upon to fix computers and explain new websites and concepts to your friends and family.
A while ago a short video did the rounds on blogs and email, explaining RSS in plain English. It was quite popular and now Lee LeFever is back with another couple of videos explaining Social Networking and Wikis.
Check them out and forward to your non-geek friends!
Social Networking
Wikis
And in case you missed it first time round: RSS
Now that you know what RSS is, you can grab Lee’s video RSS feed from here and will be automatically notified when the next video in the series comes out!
Update 11th Dec: Donncha has a great post about “Blogs in Plain English“, check it out!
Hello Elly,
Your Mother sent me your wedding picture and you and George made a very attractive couple. I loved the bridal outfit that you and your Mom designed and made.
I want to thank you for posting the information about Wiki and RSS. Thanks, Elly, I had no idea about those techniques and now I understand them.
Well, I say that, BUT I hope I retain what I have learned. Thanks for knowing that we are not all geeks and we can use all the help we can get.

Nancy, I loved that outfit too, I only wish I had an excuse to wear it again. Maybe I’ll try to be like Mum – she was still able to fit into her wedding outfit 25 years later!
I love the fact that people of my Mum’s generation are using computers and the internet so much! There are so many cool tools and applications out there that I’ll do anything to encourage them to use them.
