Techcrunch just posted a read on Screentoasters new, online, Java based recording application for creating those video tutorials on your PC. Once they pointed on the negatives, they also pointed out that a very similar online app, called Screencast-O-Matic, already has this ability, plus some of what Screentoaster is missing, the exporting of audio and video, plus subtitles and notes.
On screen recording has become a huge hit with the explosion of video sites, and it being an easy way to give quick, viewable, tutorials on anything and everything. This is a prime example of how offline applications are slowly becoming the past. Screencast-O-Matic

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since.
My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up.
Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about. My posts are displayed here at TheWindowsFix, MakeUseOf and ConnectedInternet.

The main problem with screencast-o-matic is that its terribly slow and bad quality. Screentoaster is about to implement subtitles in a few days and audio features in a couple of months.

Huh, I’ll have to check it out, in that case…I would just like to start posting some stuff on YouTube, and Screencast looked like a better option, but I’ll keep both of them marked.
