RESOURCE: Social Media for Dummies
The folks at BrainGain Marketing based in Troy, MI have launched BrainStorm, a new online resource to help many of us 'net novices and web-tool wallflowers become more savvy when it comes to utilizing "social media" (tools which allow us to have "online conversations" such as blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
BrainGain understands that the world of new media can be an intimidating one. That's why we invite you to check out BrainStorm - BrainGain's redesigned blog all about "Social Media Savvy" to help you step into the world of new media and Marketing/PR 2.0.
While browsing through BrainStorm, I immediately followed a link to a great resource called The Common Craft Show. These guys explain everything from Social Networking to Zombies "in plain english". Check out their short introduction to blogs, how they work and why they matter below!

Cute video... I think the rise of blogs has been really interesting to watch - particularly in the areas of politics...
i'm a heavy blogger and i'd love to help contribute to your blog about the literary world in Michigan.
The "Common Craft Show" videos are great. The internet world tends to assume that everyone knows how to create a blog, use twitter, or set up a wiki. That's definitely not the case. Why else would we openly purchase books that refer to the reader as a "Dummie?" (The Internet for Dummies, etc.) The Common Craft Show videos are simple and quick intros to various web entities.
I'm getting ready to create an online learning community a 50 arts teachers. I'll definitely use this. Pretty cool to be sitting here on the couch reading your blog, watching the video and posting all from my little itouch.
