Hey all, was wondering about the greatest screencasts/demos you've seen recently. Trying to get in touch with interesting startups with demos for an app we're building. Also if you have an online demo or want to help me find people with cool demos email me, appreciate the help: sumon [at] zintilla [dot] com

  This one is easy for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u3ekzwnYxw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u3ekzwnYxw The screencast for Scrybe was truly amazing. Cnet described as the "Demo of the Gods."

This one has actually been around for a while, but is still the coolest demo I've seen in years. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1ftJhDBZqss http://youtube.com/watch?v=1ftJhDBZqss

That's easy: Doug Engelbart's "Mother of all demos" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8734787622017763097 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8734787622017763097

  Huh. I just read about this, after following the track about "Magic Ink" to look for where the idea of GUIs came from. A lot of what's in Engelbart's demo looks surprisingly modern. Considering that it's been about 40-50 years, that's pretty amazing.

    Absolutely! I'm amazed at how far ahead this man was thinking... slap some nice UI on top of his workflow and you've got yourself an amazing system that can run circles around modern stuff.

I made this screencast for Songbird: http://songbirdnest.com/screencast http://songbirdnest.com/screencast I thought it was pretty decent. I tried to make it fast and to-the-point and respectful of the viewer's time.

I thought Steve Jobs's NeXT demo from 1992-1993 was pretty impressive. http://youtube.com/watch?v=j02b8Fuz73A http://youtube.com/watch?v=j02b8Fuz73A It certainly would have seemed space-age in 1992.
