New guides for new technology

Today I stumbled upon two great guides that explain two tech­no­lo­gies that I’ve had prob­lems explain­ing before; RSS and Twitter.

The RSS Plain Eng­lish video is a great explan­a­tion of RSS that even your Mom, Uncle or cowork­ers will under­stand. And it’s funny too.

Twit­ter — a begin­ners guide is just that, a great intro­duc­tion to Twit­ter. To quote the guide itself:

In this begin­ner­’s guide to Twit­ter I have taken a look at the fol­low­ing questions:

• What exactly is Twit­ter? — a full review of what Twit­ter is and does
• What do I need to use Twit­ter? — The dif­fer­ent ways that you can use Twit­ter, and the tech­no­lo­gies required
• How are people using Twit­ter? — Twit­ter is being used in a num­ber of ways to a vari­ety of effects
• Why do people love Twit­ter? — What the blo­go­sphere and press have to say about Twit­ter when they are singing its praises
• Why do people hate Twit­ter? — What the blo­go­sphere and press have to say about Twit­ter when they are less than impressed
• What tools are there to extend Twitter?
  — While the strength of Twit­ter lies in its sim­pli­city, that hasn’t
  stopped a micro-industry form­ing around it. I take a look at some of
  the tools and ser­vices available

So what are you wait­ing for, click and learn about these two cool, and essen­tial Web 2.0 online tools! Fol­low me on Twit­ter: http://twitter.com/bgrier
