Snag It is PC-Based and I use it on all my PCs. But I told them to make Mac Tutorials (because they can), and because I do watch all my videos on my MacBook Pro (because the battery lasts 4:30 instead of a pathetic 1 hour or so on my PC laptop). And they were responsive. They still haven't made the videos, but it's an ongoing conversation and it highlights consumption. Just because your product is used in one medium (PC), doesn't mean it's not learned in another medium (Mac). What's easy for them, is that they make stuff in Camtasia, so making a Flash file and a iTunes download is a matter of pressing a few buttons, instead of a whole new movie.

The irony of this video is that SnagIt got hundreds of requests for new features. And those features had existed for a long time (even on earlier versions of Snag It). It was ironical that many users weren't even aware of these features, and were suggesting that Snag It add these features to new versions of Snag It. That's what's ironical. And that's what caused Snag It to create this video. And to their credit, they did it with good humour. Oh, I should have explained.

If whatever you're presenting is like a buffet, people get lost—or at the very least distracted. Having too many links, or elements on a page can do that. Have Google Adwords down the side of the side, can do that. There's a massive difference between a meal served at a French Cafe and a buffet. :) The difference is what cause the lack of confusion.

I get calls and emails from folks asking for information that is already on my main sites or one of my sister sites. I've provided links to the information on the home page, but some people still have difficulty going there. When I talk them through on the phone, it's no problem. But it seems that on their own they want the info they seek to jump out at them. They don't want to look left or right or scroll. What to do? I’ve struggled with this problem on one of my websites.
