Need to share a screencast in a hurry?  Have a Twitter account?  Screenr will help you create and share your own mini tutorials from your desktop with the world.  The benefit here is that you can use a web-based recorder, on Macs or PCs to share how to do something or how something might look.

Here is the video tutorial I created, while testing out the service:

Screenr is simply the easiest of the online desktop screen capture solutions out there to use. All you have to do is hit the record button, choose the size you want to record and start capturing.  While I did not, you can also record a video track if you want to do commentary as you record. I like the fact that you can also download the video (as a .mp4 file) or publish to YouTube too.  I wish the video screen was a ‘bit more customizable, but hopefully that will be a feature to come in the future.

Once you are ready to publish, you can instantly share it on Twitter – or wait, and publish it elsewhere first.  You can tell the target for this tool is to be another Twitter companion, however you don’t have to use it that way if you don’t want to.  The developers have kept that part of the equation very free and open.

When push comes to shove, I could see myself using this tool again to create more quick tutorials.  Screenr is simple, to the point, and doesn’t waste your time with fluff.

I already shared with you one wallpaper selection that would keep you busy for hours, and now I have a second one that will do the same.  Simply named EcosystemII, this wallpaper selection from Deviant art will keep you staring at your desktop for hours upon hours.

Ecosystem is truly amazing.  I could probably spend hours checking i out like a Where’s Waldo book, trying to take in everything that is going on.

Yesterday, I decided to move all the free custom desktop icons I have created over the past year to one easy to remember location.  That location now is:

• http://www.mitchelaneous.com/free-desktop-icons/

There, you can get links to download the 40+ video game related desktop icons I have created thus far – and in the future, that is where I will be archiving even more.  So bookmark it, share it with others and download all the icons you want.

You have Glass Joe, King Hippo and Little Mac ready for download!  Feel free to use, distribute and what not.  Just remember, if you do share it around, please be sure to give me at least a little ‘bit of credit.

Once you install it, the setup is pretty easy to understand.  You just setup how you want you desktop to be split, hit the OK button and it is done.  If you find yourself overwhelmed by having too many programs or windows floating around your desktop – give MaxTo a shot.  Previously I had been doing this same type of desktop reorganization on my own, but MaxTo does it for me – and in turn saves me a lot of tweaking time.

A kind of platforming puzzle experience, the game allows you to explore, and be creative all over the place.  The main character of de Blob though is just awesome.  With that said, I thought I would feature him, her… it?  Confusing aside, here is a desktop icon free for you to use, download, share or paint any color you wish.
