If you're among the many who just don't "get" Twitter--the little blogette tool that lets you find out what your friends (and others) are up to--there's finally a good, simple explanation.
Lee LeFever, whose Commoncraft studio makes clear, loveably brief videos that explain social networking tools to layfolk--has released "Twitter in Plain English." It manages, in only 2:29 (!), to convey what Twitter does and why you (may) want to be involved.
We won't make the mistake of trying to explain a video that explains something so clearly. But we will say the videos use a mix of whiteboard, ink-and-paer and finger-puppet technology. If the MacArthur "genius" grant people took nominations, we'd put in for LeFever & Co.
If you want to figure out what all the Twitterfuss is about, just watch the video.
