Sketchcast: New Web-based Communication Tool Lightly Rocks
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:
