Jing, Screen capture and Podcasts

Thing 18 was a relatively quick task for me - really more just a peek to see what is possible!

Jing is interesting. I didn't realize that you could do something like create a screen capture video on your PC - I thought you needed all kinds of specialist bits and pieces for this.  I downloaded Jing fine at work; the screen capturing was really easy and I liked the fact that you can switch the yellow icon on and off quite easily - I thought it was going to be yet another thing that would be there in perpetuity on my screen.  I like the idea of videos for internal training, such as LMS systems instruction, particularly for when you have to train to a range of people on different sites/locations. I can see it would also be great for user training - perhaps a series of   short videos with tips for searching or something similar.
I'm already a Podcast addict, and do most of my radio listening via my iPod rather than live streaming. I'm not too sure about making a podcast myself, though - first I would have to have something I thought worth broadcasting! However, I will take a look for some library related ones to download, as this hadn't really occurred to me before.
