I just finished building a widget, for beta testing, that startups can grab from my website that has a built in screen recording tool. So once they embed this on their own website they can entice users to record their interactions and it will even pick up on audio feedback as well. You can see the widget on my site http://betapunch.com http://betapunch.com. The widget is the little punch icon in the right corner of the page. It's not great as far as design goes, but that's why I am working on the 2nd variation of the widget I will be launching in a couple days. Here's what it will look like: http://i.imgur.com/iBS7C.png http://i.imgur.com/iBS7C.png. I am trying to get as many people to grab the code and put it on their startup websites so I can make sure display and functionality are all in order in various different browsers. So if you have a moment and want to give it a shot for your site that would be great! You can remove it whenever you'd like, I just want to make sure it does what it's supposed to. :-)

Very cool idea - that's taking user feedback to the next level. Will have to give it a spin.

Added to a wordpress theme footer in a few different places. Couldn't get it to work & doesn't look like there's any way to contact you via the betapunch site. Email in my profile if interested.

As an average Joe, I've got no idea why I should click to begin a screencast. What does it do and why should I do it?

  Good point. I know it's not crystal clear and that is largely my fault because I see it every day. I am hoping the newer style widget will clear things up maybe. The startup is allowed to customize an incentive when they get their widget code to display on their site. The purpose is to get something from the startup as a reward for beta testing their app. (A free upgraded plan, or some swag etc.) Video recorded feedback has been proven to be much better than text based feedback. Why write out a problem and have something get lost in translation when you can show them and talk them through it?
