Wink demo using Vonage stock fluctuation
It’s beta testing humpday at Hmm as I continue to pour through Microsoft Office 2007 beta and just took a brief break to demo the free screencasting software Wink. It’s my first ever wink-powered screencast — and has all the rough edges of a first attempt — which you can watch and listen to vonage1128est_openday.swf (2.14MB).
There is much more that can be done with Wink then my demo shows like sending people to different URLs during/after the presentation, floating tooltext windows and highlights. Screencasting software like Wink is good for software demos, instruction and education. Winki is fairly intuitive to operate. Like what I see so far and will be doing more in the future.
Did this post make you go hmm?
