A new Common Craft video. And it's about Twitter, wow. Love the Karla story line, going from "heard about Twitter and was skeptical" and "after some of her friends couldn't stop talking about it," sounds familiar LOL. Interesting that this vid doesn't explicitly mention the one essential thing that Twitter is: the simplest social networking site ever. Yay! A new Common Craft video. And it’s about Twitter, wow.

Well, it isn't. It lost me 1/3 of the way into listening. The narrator speaks way too fast, presenting the concepts too quickly. I am a plain language specialist and have been working in the field for years. I've written video scripts in plain language, and I can tell you that a plain language video needs to be narrated at 75 to 100 words a minute to reach an audience that needs plain language content.
