I’m very proud to say that we’ve been given the Screencast of the Week (twitter) award by TechSmith, makers of the excellent CamTasia (our main screencasting tool).  The award is for our Adblock Plus video, we made it as part of our open-source advocacy drive.  It is viewed 600 times a day in the adblockplus.org website and has 39 five-out-of-five ratings.

“I liked this screencast for several reasons. Ian made great use of Camtasia Studio’s SmartFocus feature – he used it to focus your attention on certain areas of the screen and show greater detail.

The audio quality is great on this screencast which is important as viewers are generally intolerant of poor audio. The background audio music was a great touch and added polish to the screencast. And, Ian has a great voice for narration! The screencast runs 1:32 and is short and to the point. Perfect!”

Our video has also been given 3 awards by YouTube for making highly-popular content.
