Monday August 13, 2007 Social Bookmarking in Plain English
The folks at Common Craft have done it again! Here's a cool, short video that explains what Social Bookmarking is with examples from Del.icio.us.I find the Common Craft "X in Plain English" series to be really effective at explaining what certain technologies are with a minimum of technology used to create the learning materials. The Common Craft folks emphasize the strength of "designing with constraints." As they claim, "You might think that having constraints is limiting, but I think the opposite. Constraints are liberating. By narrowing the scope of possibilities down to only a few ways to present ideas, we can eliminate needless decision making and complexity." Here's a link to their All About Constraints manifesto.
Those seem like wise words when considering packaging any learning content on the Web.
