I love Skoffer.com
I love Skoffer.com? What a stupid title, I know. It´s only that I really really like the idea of it.
Skoffer is a free service which in my eyes (and I´m involved in the project, so maybe I´m not the most rational guy to ask for a review 
) could revolutionize the web a little bit.
Skoffer.com offers an instant screencasting API (to build screenncasting widgets) which can be build into every desired website-software.
So you might ask why this “could revolutionize the web a little bit”? I will explain.
There are thousands PC and software support forums, documentation websites/wikis, weblogs, etc. on the web.
Have you ever imagined how it would be if even the hardest question in a PC support forum could be answered by clicking on the button to insert a screencast as answer and showing on the own PC how to deal with the problem (while maybe explaining it via the microphon).
It would be fun to answer even the hardest questions because you don´t have the explain every step in detail. You just show it in seconds.
Even better: If you have ever followed a PC forum you will have noticed that a lot people post questions like “I have a problem with my computer”, without telling the actual problem. And the first answers are friendly nerved voices that say that they can´t help without their crystal balls, and ask for the very actual problem. Now imagine persons who have a question or a problem could click on a button to insert a screencast which shows the problem in the wild (including error messages etc.).
Or if you run a blog:
How cool would it be to be able to insert a screencast to a blog-post easier than an image. No hassle with the installation of a screencast-software (of which some cost a lot of money), recording the video, converting it to a web-compatible format, uploading it and inserting it to a blog-post.
If you run a wiki or another system to build documentations:
People like videos because it´s easier to understand something by seeing it, and videos are faster to record than to write what you mean.
People like it to maintain wikis, don´t you think they would love it to be able to insert a video-tutorial in seconds, with one click.
Skoffer is free and allows to record videos with an unlimited length, unlimited resolution and in unlimited amount.
Since the Skoffer servers use cloud computing they have practically unlimited performance and upload, so the recorded videos can be viewed simultaniously by a practically unlimited amount of people.
In fact I like the idea so much that I made a few Skoffer plugins that use the simple API.
Here are two examples:
Please click on the video-player´s fullscreen-button on the bottom right side while watching the videos.
