Microblogging – The Animated Cartoon

Posted by Brian Kelly on July 14th, 2009

Netskills have recently released a series of Web2practice practice guides. The guides, which provide short animated video explaining key concepts,  explain how technologies like RSS, micro-blogging, podcasting and social media can enhance your working practice.

The animated video for micro-blogging is embedded in this blog (and is also available from the Web2practice blog and on Blip.tv) in order to illustrate the approach which has been taken.

I think that this video, possibly used in conjunction with UKOLN’s Introbyte briefing documents on micro-blogging, could well provide a useful introduction to those who are unfamiliar with (or sceptical of) the potential of micro-blogging services such as Twitter. But what do you think of this approach?
