ideaShrub Screencast

I just finished up a mini-tour of the new web application that I'm working on: ideaShrub. The tour comes in the form of a mini-screencast for everyone to watch. This is my first attempt at making a screencast and I think it went fairly well (save for the lack of voice over and mouse cursor, but I'm working on fixing that for future 'casts).

In this tour I cover a couple different aspects of the new site:

  1. A user's main profile page
  2. A user's shrub list (and the Create A Set and Create A Shrub widgets)
  3. A user's contacts list
  4. All communities
  5. All people
  6. All shrubs
  7. Options, straight to Profile Editing
  8. A user's main profile page (again)
  9. Shrub Editing (I saved the best for last!)
    This portion includes moving leaves, creating leaves, editing leaves, navigation, changing text attributes (bold, underline, strikethrough), indenting, undenting)

As a note, the application itself is still a long ways off from being complete - I expect to be making a lot of progress within the next couple weeks and possibly launching at the beginning of July.

So, without further ado:

ideaShrub Screencast (06/14/05)
(3 Minutes 50 Seconds - Approx. 5Mb)

NOTE: Best if watched at 800x600, it gets kind of 'warped' otherwise.
