I’m not sure documenting bugs is a micromedia thing; I was doing the Jing thing for you last night and I hit the five minute limit before I’d shown the whole behaviour. Maybe I’m too prolix though!

My ideal bugcasting would be to have a button on the support site that starts up a chat with a tech with another button that gives them a view of my screen and *they* are recording that – and can ask to reach out and show me the change that fixes it. More of a client server view than peer to peer publishing, I suppose – folksonomies ultimately frustrate me because I can’t get to a master hierarchy to navigate quickly and I think backbone architectures are more efficient than free for all connections.

Your last point about the social collection of short screencasts – that was my evil plan. Last year, I labored over putting together an instructional resource for nonprofit folks – challenging them – I’m giving this away with the hope that I won’t have to do any more screencasts that I can simply aggregate yours. Jing hadn’t made it debut, but I think it might make that idea more a reality.

Maybe Jeremiah will make a micro-screencast!
