I think this is a great idea. Do you intend to spider the web (or use YouTube's API) for existing ones and archive them in addition to allowing people to upload their own?
For bonus points, if you could create a speech-to-text version of each of the screencasts and then index that text and make it searchable on your site, then it'll really be easy to find a screencast that somebody is interested in. For example, I'd search "merging layers" and you could find me the corresponding Photoshop screencast that happened to show how to merge layers.
Let us know how it goes once it's up.
- sandipagr 16y agothanks for the response. Yeah I was thinking of using the mix of spider web and available api's on different video platforms. I have also emailed lot of people about having their content on this service, just to gauge the interest. I hadn't thought about allowing people to upload their own but it would be definitely nice to have screencast makers submit it to the site making life of web spider a bit easy. The speech-to-text is another great feature. I think there are api's available that I could potentially use for this. I will look into what Synergy uses to do this. It would definitely enhance user's experience a lot. Thanks again for your feedback!
