Thanks for mentioning Camtasia 8. I have heard camtasia mentioned in a few IM forums. I have been a cheap ass and using an open source program but it's crap. I would be more than happy to pay for something reliable that works at this point. You mentioned that you're using a video sitemap the same way google does? How do you do this? Is there a program for that?
I have been thinking that there's a lot to be made from video marketing, but I hate the idea of depending on my content being on google (youtube) where it's out of my control. Unfortunately, Big G gives an unfair advantage to content hosted with them.
