Another Plain English video from Common Craft - this video introduces Social Media by the way of a story about ice cream in the fictional town of Scoopville
This video introduces the elements "Social Media" (tagging - organisation, reviewing - promotion and commenting - feedback) by the way of telling the story of how ice cream developed within the fictional town of Scoopsville.

I particularly like the way that the ice cream flavours are related to social media tools such as blogs, podcasts and video sharing towards the end of the video - and the visual of an ice cream relating to a microphone is inspired.

The Common Craft store now offers high resolution downloadable versions of all of their Plain English videos for use in the workplace for a small fee - other selected Plain English guides are available here.
