Social Media’s BIG year — An illustrated video retrospective

2009 was the year that graphic sketch videos — brief clips using slickly produced animations to explain new products or complicated concepts — came of age.

There was one to explain the origins of the Global Financial Crisis ^[1]. Another on the History of the Internet ^[2]. We were reminded of how Entrepreneurs Can Change the World ^[3]. And creative agency BooneOakley took it to the next level ^[4]. And then there was Google, using the illustrated video technique to simplify the web browser ^[5], Google Wave ^[6], Google Chrome OS ^[7], and Google Goggles ^[8].

It only seems appropriate that the year finished with a similarly styled graphical video recapping 2009′s BIG year in Social Media.
