New screencasting blog
Raymond Kristiansen, one of Ourmedia's moderators, just launched a blog devoted to screencasting: Screenvlog.com will show people what they can do with screencasting tools like Camtasia, which allow you to capture, annotate and add voiceovers to everything that happens on your computer screen. Very cool. Look for lots of how-tos with this tool.
Here, for example, is a one-minute screencast on how to quote Quicktime movies on mefeedia.com. No narration here, but you generally need a microphone (detached or embedded into your computer) to make this work well.

And what is new about this (screencasting)? Nothing that I can tell, been done for years in training. Is it just that they are now posted on the internet and "casting" was added to the end?
I don't get it obviously.

For an easy way to make Screencasts, that doesn't cost $250, check out Replay Screencast at www.replay-screencast.com.
It's only $29, and it's really, realy easy to use. Applian even has a screencast of how to use the product.

Hey JD, thanks for the mention. :)
To PXLated: There is nothing revolutionary new about this at all. As you say, demos have been made for years. However, these have mostly been made within corporations as part of their teaching staff members how to do things. With some of these more recent tools, 'screencasting' becomes far easier to do, and a larger amount of people can use it to share information. So no, not revolutionary per se, but the fact that more people can do this and the growth of broadband makes this something different.
