• ANSWERS

• One of the major faults with Jing is that it can only save the files in .swf format, which is very difficult to manipulate. Especially when you have to upload them to a site. Instead of using Jing you can use Quicktime to screen capture.


• When recording skype the audio is not always clear and audible. To fix that you can download Soundflower, which is a program that edits and adjust audio levels.

• ID3 tags are containers that allow you to add information to your Mp3 file. For example: Author, Title, Genre. Pinging and ID3 tags helps a user to narrow down their search and find what they wanted easier.

• To get your blog onto a website other than youtube, you can embed the HTML into the site and then it will appear.

• One reason for not using Youtube or any public site is it has no privacy. However I believe there is something for everyone on youtube and it is user friendly, so it will be very difficult to find two reasons not to use it.
