Web based screencasting apps aren’t always more powerful than their free desktop cousins (like Jing, Wink or CamStudio) but offer some distinct advantages:
1. You don’t have install any software for recording the screen - just an active internet connection would do.
2. Web based screen recorders are generally written in Java and hence support all major platforms and browsers.
3. The recorded video (aka screencast) gets uploaded to the web automatically so you don’t have to worry about web hosting or what format to choose when saving the video.
Currently, there are three online screencasting apps available on the web - Screencast-o-Matic, ScreenToaster and Skoffer. Let’s see how they compare with each other:
The downside is that Screencast-o-Matic doesn’t allow you to record video of custom dimensions and second, it doesn’t render video in Flash so viewers will require Java to watch the recordings. On the plus side, Screencast-o-Matic is the only application that lets you export screencasts out the system as QuickTime movies that you may upload to other video sites.
You can later add subtitles to the video before publishing on the web. Unlike Screencast-o-Matic that records both audio and video simultaneously, you can record voice narration in Screen Toaster only after the screen recording is complete. It uses Flash video so you can embed screencasts easily just like YouTube clips. The downside - ScreenToaster requires an invite and there are no export options. (See: Screen Toaster Review)
The website require no registration and the quality (resolution) of recorded video is pretty good. Unlike the previous two services, Skoffer doesn’t offer a YouTube like portal for sharing screencasts nor there’s an option to export videos.

They were all asked to paint a tiny part of the note without knowledge of the overall task and were paid a cent each for their work via the Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service. Thus the total labor cost to create the $100 bill also turned out to be $100.
You can click anywhere on the $100 bill, defined by the red rectangle, to see how the "artist" went about painting that particular part.
The work is presented as a video piece with all 10,000 parts being drawn simultaneously. Interestingly, all proceeds from the sale of these $100 reprints will be donated to the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project (formerly known as the $100 laptop).

It's pretty surprising that this functionality wasn't available earlier, as Google Video introduced the same feature over two years ago. YouTube users have been forced to rely on third party services like Splicd to do the same thing. To specify a point, append a tag to the end of your video link with the following syntax: "#t=1m45s" (you can change the numbers before the 'm' and 's' to edit the minutes and seconds, respectively. Here's an example: As another nice touch, YouTube will also automatically detect when someone mentions a time in a video comment and add a hyperlink to that point in the video.
