Today, I ran across two fun web apps–Photo505.com and Screenr.com.

With Photos505, you’re able to drop your photo into a zillion different backgrounds, such as the example shown above.

With Screenr.com, you can record video on your desktop via your browser and save it to MP4, as well as tweet the result. This pretty much eliminates the need for Jing Pro ($14.95), although Jing has some other nice features (screen capture…but plenty of other apps are available for free that do that).

I recorded a quick one on how to save a YouTube video using Zamzar.com/url. This is something that teachers in districts where YouTube.com is blocked can use–provided they know the YouTube address, which you can usually get from a Google search–to download the video.

You can view my video online below or click the link. Note, it’s a rough video recording so don’t expect perfect audio. But just in time videos seem the wave of the future…rather than the more lengthy, perfection oriented stuff videographers prepare. And that is fine with me!! ;->
