All the cool kids are screencasting...

Posted on Thursday September 22, 2005 by Betsy Weber

Some people have told me they don't think screen recordings can beentertaining. When I hear that, I know they've never watched a video byNew York Times technology columnist and author David Pogue.

David is anything but boring. In fact, he's one of my screencast idols. He's likely to be yours, too.

Take a look at his recent video. It's entertaining, but also a great example of how David uses Camtasia Studio.

Camtasia videos like David's are so cool, because they're funny andenlightening at the same time. Plus, they're just the rightlength. You get the information, you're amused, and you're done.

Another one of my favorite videos by David is his one on being a 'One-Man Studio'.

I mean, really - am I the only one that didn't know a hotel room lamp could work as a tripod?

I never met a David Pogue video I didn't like...a perfect blend of humor, information and technology.

I can't wait for his next one. The cool kids always leave you wanting more.

Got a favorite screencast? E-mail Betsy Weber or reply in the comments to share!

Wow! I didn't know you could use a hotel room lamp as a tripod, either.

Seriously, though. Thanks for the post. I'm gonna check David's blog out, 'cause you make it sound interesting.
