Jing

I've been playing around in Jing lately. It's a pretty neat tool--it doesn't record videos with sound (no saving YouTube files, for example), but you can make short videos as you write. Pretty neat, actually. The really interesting thing is that videos are ultimately recorded in .swf format--that is, Flash.

I love Flash. In terms of, say, web site design, it may not be the most usable thing in the world, but I actually understand how flash works--its thought process, if you will.

And the neat thing about it? I may be able to actually go in there and modify it to my needs! If it's primarily a flash-based product, that's an API i actually understand! Mashup land, here I come!
