Screencast of the Week - Super Bowl Screencast
Posted on Sunday February 14, 2010 by Betsy Weber
I love watching the Super Bowl every year. Shhhhh, but don't tell anyone - I really just watch for the commercials. If my hometown team, the Detroit Lions, ever made it to the Super Bowl, I'd watch the game. :-)
I have to admit, one ad really caught my attention! Google ran an ad that was a screencast! And, that's our Screencast of the Week this week! I'm not sure the technology Google used. Regardless of that, I am happy to see screencasting hit big time. And, reports show that it cost over $2.5 million for a 30 second commercial. This has to be the world's most expensive screencast (and maybe most viewed screencast?)!
I loved this screencast - interesting story, the typing, cursor movement and zooms kept my attention, and nice background music! All wrapped together in a beautiful screencast! Almost made me a little teary! I love that a simple screencast can evoke that much emotion!
What'd you think of the screencast?
Any nominations for next week's Screencast of the Week? Email me or post in the comments!

Yeah, I noticed that too! Wonder if they used Camtasia to do this. Such a simple ad that caught our attention.
