Another tool you might find useful is screencasting, which enables you to easily record a video (and audio if you wish) of your screen to demonstrate a particular function – useful for sharing with other people.

I had hoped to stick to using web tools so was planning to use ScreenToaster but unfortunately the service is currently down, so I’m using Jing which is a free download and lets you take screenshot images or videos. Here’s a very quick and dirty screencast of how to create a Twtpoll which was a previous thing (if you haven’t voted in the poll yet, please do – it’s open until 12th Dec).

I found it really easy to create this using Jing – are there any other screencasting tools you would recommend?
