Screencast of the Week - David Pogue and SugarSync

One of the nice things about working at a tech company is that there is never a shortage of computers. I often like to try out new and different machines. I've recently started using a MacBook Pro in addition to my PC. On a typical day, I bounce between the two computers depending on what I'm working on. Then, I end up shuffling documents and files back and forth between the machines and the network. This wastes a lot of time plus every week I lose a file and end up shouting in anger at both computers. Shouting doesn't fix anything, by the way!
I was so happy to see this article in the New York Times from one of my favorite tech columnists, David Pogue. David tests out a product called SugarSync that will sync your PC, Mac and phone together! And, even better was when I went to take the product tour, it was made with...you guessed it...Camtasia Studio! So, it's the Screencast of the Week!
I love this screencast because they show split screens with the PC and Mac in the screencast which is a great way to illustrate the product. The audio sounds great. And, they make good use of SmartFocus.
Click the screenshot below to launch the screencast. It runs just over 3 minutes long.
Thanks David Pogue and SugarSync for keeping me sane and synched!

This is great Betsy! I wasn't sold on SugarSync until I watched their screencast. Then I signed up as a Founder member so that for $10 a month I can automatically have 60 GB of my most important and useful files backed up and available anywhere on either my PC, Mac, iPhone, or web.
There are two kinds of people: Those who have had a hard disk fail and those who will.
