Hallway Meetings and Jing... Pelotonics Screencast of the Week

I had a wonderful time at Gnomedex this week. I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my flight back home to Michigan as we 'speak'!
I was continually amazed at the people I just happened to run into. For instance, Friday night I was looking for a Jing or Camtasia Studio screencast to show off on the blog for the 'Screencast of the Week'. I stumbled on to a great one and made a note to email the creator of the video. Less than 12 hours later, I actually ended up meeting the video creator, Troy Malone from Pelotonics in the hallway at Gnomedex. Just by chance! I love that!
Troy is using the Jingcasts to help with customer service and internal communication with his teams. He likes Jing because he can take a very personalized approach to answer someone's question or give feedback. And, guess what? His users love getting a screencast answer. Here's an example of a recent Jing that Troy did for a customer inquiry. Click on the screenshot below.
Enough of me talking about how Troy how uses Jing. Its better if Troy tells you himself. We shot a quick video in the hallway at Gnomedex. So, check out the video below. It's a quick one - it runs 3:34 minutes.
Materials used to make the video:
* Sanyo Xacti HD1000 Camcorder* HP Compaq 8510p (yes, I got a new computer)
*QuickTime Pro
* Camtasia Studio
I also got to see non-profit screencaster extraordinaire, Beth Kanter at Gnomedex. I have to share with you Beth's fantastic screencasting primer wiki which you can see here!
Congrats Pelotonics on being our 'Screencast of the Week'! Any nominations for next week?
