Does it seem like everywhere you look right now someone is talking about Facebook? I’ve seen reports about Robert Scoble taking over Facebook. Scoble is someone to take note of, whatever he is up to. Here Scoble offers a video of Steve Broback talking about a Seattle Facebook Event called Community Building in the Age of Facebook. Scoble uses video all the time on his blog and elsewhere. More and more, this is going to be how people blog and put information up on websites. And Scoble likes Facebook. So we should keep an eye on Facebook.

Scoble thinks Facebook is hot because it is much more of a “media channel” than a blog. I’m still getting my head around this. Here’s a good rundown of Facebook for Professionals in the meantime.

What’s your point?! you ask? Mark McLaren and McBuzz Communications will be attending the Seattle Facebook Event. Very fired up about it. Check it out!

Description: Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications LLC shares a new free Web-based tool called Sketchcast that can be used to create presentations - with audio and video - in minutes and then publish them on the Sketchcast website and on your own website or blog.

Watch the short presentation above. This Web-based communication tool is fast, free and fun. The reasons I say Sketchcast lightly rocks are these:

• Sketchcast presentations contain no keywords or tags that search engines can read. Although you save time creating Sketchcast presentations and posting them quickly, if you want search engines to index your creation, you still have to write keywords and/or tags and work them into your post somewhere.
• You can’t insert backgrounds, so you can’t give tutorials using screen captures in which you talk about and draw over top of web pages, software programs or other materials.
• You can’t splice one presentation to another.

No doubt, they will be expanding Sketchcast’s capabilities in the future. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes! Here’s a more thorough introduction by Sketchcast’s Rich Ziade:
