<p>In her post, <a href="http://ananelson.com/said/on/2007/12/17/screencasts-are-so-2005/">Screencasts are so 2005</a>, Ana walks you through her process of finding a useful slideshow tool for her Skitch slideshow.</p>
<p>I’ll take this a step further and call this… SkitchCasting! ;-)</p>
<p>It’s really great to see that people are finding all sorts of uses for Skitch.</p>
