Screencast guru, Beth Kanter recently celebrated her birthday with a challenge for her blog readers to raise money for the Sharing Foundation. You can read the challenge and blog post here.

And, Christine Martell responded with a "Bethcast" for Beth's birthday! What better way to celebrate to celebrate a birthday than with charitable donations and a screencast?! You can see Christine's Bethcast here.

What I love about this Bethcast is that it is creative and different. I love the content too - Christine talks about the power of using images which is something that we care about at TechSmith.

Happy Birthday Beth! I hope you get your birthday wish and your challenge is met. And, I hope we see many more screencasts from Christine.

Have you given a screencast for a gift? What did the recipient think?

PS - Here's my shameless plea...My birthday is June 30th - you know what I want, right?! ;-)
