Howard Rheingold Videos on Using Social Media

Howard Rheingold is video-blogging how he uses social media. There are three episodes out so far: the first (embedded below) sets the context of how he first got into socialising online twenty (yes, twenty) years ago (with some fascinating photographic memories!); the second discusses how he “hunts and gathers” information online via blogs and RSS; the third looks at how he stores his memories of what he finds through social bookmarking. This is s step up from the Commoncraft videos which though nice, only present the basic idea behind different social media tools. Howard sets them into a context and not only explains how he uses them in tutorial fashion, but also how they are useful to him, and why.

Thanks to Thomas Vander Wal for this!
