Google Reader Tutorial (get your aggregator on)
I intended this to be a 5 min. presentation, but it ballooned to just over 11. I’ll likely be going to back to edit it down, and/or ’shoot’ it over to make i a bit more concise. I’m told these should actually be about 2- 3 minutes, because of users low attention spans, so I might even do it in smaller chunks.
Another caveat, this was my first attempt at using Camtasia, so I dont think I have figured out the best way to optimize/present this file. For now, you will have to stream it off a webpage using the Flash format, as it was the smallest file I could generate.

I am gathering some google related resources with follow up links on this presentation on a wiki page. This is just getting started, but I intend to keep building this up and punctuate interesting tools with screencasts. Then, on to Yahoo!, Microsoft and a bunch of the other “big players” in the software business. You can tell they are watching the open source/social software movement closley, but we’ll see if their implentatons ring as true as many of the tools we present in Social Learning.
