Have you viewed some of the CommonCraft videos?
Their tagline is: “Sensemaking for the masses”.
Anyway, they have a series of videos, a la YouTube style, that explain a number of new technologies in plain English. Here are a few videos that seem useful:
Social Bookmarking in Plain English
Social Networking in Plain English
Wikis in Plain English
RSS in Plain English
I’ve added CommonCraft to my RSS feeds just to see what they come up with next. Besides videos they also post some useful stuff 2pointOh-wise.

We LOVE the Commoncraft videos. My partner in crime and I used them with our 15 minutes a day lessons to teach our library staff about Library 2.0. They are so funny, entertaining and we learned something from them!
