Free Screencasting Application

This is a rare sight. . . a screencasting web application that you can caption, and the price is right, it's free! It's still in beta, and you need to sign up to get in on their beta testing, but it seems like a good idea at the moment.

Demo Girl has done a good intro to this new service on her blog at: http://demogirl.com/2008/11/13/free-screencast-application-screentoaster-may-be-my-new-best-friend/

And here's ScreenToaster's own video: http://www.screentoaster.com/watch/demo

Here's the page to sign up while it's still in Beta testing:
