Our Videos at One Year: Facts and Figures
By leelefever on April 23, 2008 - 10:21am.
Well, as of today it has been exactly one year since all this video craziness began. On April 22, 2007 we published RSS in Plain English. We never guessed these videos would take us so far - it was just a problem that begged to be solved. Did you ever see a blog post with the same name from 2004?
Since our work is in front of people often, we both feel a little self conscious in talking about the numbers behind the videos. We don't want to seem ostentatious or too self-promotional. But, at the same time, I think that exposing some of the figures provides context and hopefully examples of the power of Social Media.

Our New Adventure: The Common Craft Store
By leelefever on April 2, 2008 - 9:48am.
As I wrote recently, we've been thinking a lot about Common Craft's future. In the coming year, Sachi and I want to make even more videos for you - videos that are useful, both on the Web and in the workplace. We've recently created a new resource that will hopefully help us get there.
Today we're announcing the roll out of an early version of The Common Craft Store. It looks like this:

View With Comments A Tasty Treat for Halloween from New Tee Vee

We were so happy to get a tasty Halloween treat from New Tee Vee who did a nice write up about Common Craft and our videos called Paper Cutouts Have Never Made So Much Sense.
And speaking of Halloween...
Remember folks, be careful tonight - zombies don't eat candy. If something happens - we'll see you at Costco.
Why We Do This
By leelefever on October 10, 2007 - 9:45am.
Every once in a while we get an email that reminds us why we started making videos for the Common Craft Show. Here is a quote from an email today:
I love your films! We were so inspired by the Wiki-Plain English that we have now set up 5 active team workspaces and have totally revolutionised the way we work. (I spent 10 years as a TV/Radio Producer and now work in behaviour/social change communication and I can say I have never come across a short film so motivational yet so simple!)
Yay!
This email put smiles on our faces. Any thing we do that can help people create positive change is time well spent.

First, let me say that I've been known to unsubscribe from blogs that become too self-congratulatory. It bugs me and I'm constantly aware of it here on Common Craft. That being said, this post may appear that way, as I'm about to share some rankings, numbers, etc. So please bear with me - we're both excited to share.
View With Comments Did You Miss Common Craft Week?

I'm not sure you realized, but it was Common Craft week last week. I know, it snuck up on you again. Me too!
Really though, we were surpised and honored to see that the folks at New Media in the Land of Manana decided that such a week existed last week. Well, it started in Tuesday, but we'll call it even.
Tuesday: The Common Craft

RSS Video - FAQs, Credits and Observations
By leelefever on April 27, 2007 - 10:30am.
Wow. That was fun. It appears that the RSS in Plain English Video is still making it's way around the Web, but the major buzz has subsided and we're ready to move on here at Common Craft. Before we do, I wanted to address some of the things that came up recently.
First, credit where credit is due. Sachi, my lovely wife and partner, came up with the idea for the paperwork format. She also did the video editing and figured out how to make it shorter. The credits in the video don't mention this fact, and she would never ask for credit - so big-ups to Sachi!
