Every once in a while someone crystallizes a way of doing something that is fresh, effective, and a really great idea. The folks at Commoncraft create short videos to explain web-based concepts and services like social networking, RSS, and Google Docs. Using paper cutouts to create little vignettes on the screen, a great set of hand and voice gestures (”Yay!, Boo!”), and great writing, Commoncraft has created a communication form that could become the next big way to pitch ideas! Check ‘em out. (Thanks to Josh Penrod and Jed Wood for the link.)
