Fences Make Better Screencasts

Posted on Friday February 6, 2009 by Betsy Weber

My computer's desktop is often like my desk. Messy! Which is fine for every day work. But when you're making a screencast, a messy desktop can be an ugly sight and major distraction to your viewers.

Stardock released a new product today, Fences. Fences can help with the organization and 'housekeeping' of your computer's desktop. Fences allows you to group your desktop icons and files together for organization or it can hide them with the click of a button. Perfect for quick clean up of your desktop for screencasting.

Lifehacker did a great review of Fences today - you can read it here.

And, you can check out this demo video (made with Camtasia Studio!) about Fences.

The price is right on Fences - it is free! Found any nice tools to improve your screencasts lately?

Thanks for the kind words!

I use JING for all kinds of things here, it's very popular. And our Fences demo on the site was made with Camtasia!

We Michigan software companies gotta stick together! :)
