A long-delayed response to Beth Kanter’s questions about screencasting

As part of my re-exploration of the walled-garden social networks, I’ve accepted the entire batch of LinkedIn invitations that had queued up in my dormant account. One of them was a request from Beth Kanter for advice on screencasting.

So in this case I’d seen Beth’s item before I began receiving requests from her via LinkedIn intermediaries. Because I was boycotting walled-garden social networks at the time, I thought this was a good opportunity to show how, in a case like this, the open Net can obviate the need for a closed network. So I replied to Beth’s blog item in a comment. Or rather, I thought I did. But although I wrote the reply it seems I never managed to post it. Oops. I’m sorry about that, Beth, and I’ll try to make up for it here.


But first, I want to note that your item is a textbook example of how to construct an online query for information. By summarizing what you’ve already learned, you’re helping bring other folks …
