Instant Screencasts for Twitter and Beyond
Posted by: | Comments
Twitter makes for a pretty nice way for a web host to get it’s message out to their customers quickly. You can send a message to everybody that is following you, or you could answer just one person, if needed. Screenr is the way to get that job done. You can instantly record a screencast, all with web based software – and share it anywhere.
Quick and Easy Screencast Creator
The thing that makes Screenr so twitter-tastic is that it gives you the ability to login with your Twitter account, and instantly tweet your video tutorial when you are done. The recorder is powered by Java, so there is no extra tools to have to download either. Just hit the record button, drag that tool over the space you want to record and your ready to go.
Here is a demo video I created with about five minutes of planning and production time:
As you can see, sometimes you can be helping one person on how to do something – and show many more in exchange. I am sure there is a metaphor in that statement somewhere having do to with teaching that man how to fish too. You can try Screenr for free at Screenr.com. When you do come back and show man what you created.
