I was so intrigued with the concept of Screencast-0-Matic that I took time out from rum drinks to test the web service. Screencast-O-Matic gets four stars (out of a possible four). The web service allows anyone to create screencasts with ease. I’ve enclosed some images of the basic features, and linked a screencast I created on Feedburner blog stats. The user interface is very, very easy. The service recognized my basic hardware and had me recording within one or two minutes.
