CommonCraft - BLOGs in Plain English

Common Craft is a small company owned by Lee and Sachi LeFever in Seattle, Washington, USA. The company was founded by Lee in 2003 as an online community consulting company. We started making videos in 2007 with our first video: RSS in Plain English. Since then, we've published two kinds of videos:

1. Educational Videos - Videos we create to sell on this website (our current focus)
2. Custom Videos - Videos we were hired to create by companies like Google, Ford and LinkedIn.

CommonCraft has posted a series of different short videos on various aspects of technology. There is a good one on BLOGGING. Each video is around 2-3 minutes.
