Demo Girl

Alright, I try to stay away from all of the MySpace layout tools and glittery widgets when deciding to create a screencast, but today I just had to do it.  SnapLayout really gives you some great tools for customizing your MySpace profile and it’s extremely simple to use.  They provide you with various color pallets to choose from, so if you’re not so great at matching up colors, it’s already taken care of for you.  You can drag and drop various boxes on your profile into the order that you like and add widgets like your twitter updates and YouTube videos.

Now for the two reasons I felt the need to make this screencast – iJustine and MC Hammer.  When I went to the SnapLayout homepage today, I saw that they had a demo video up.  Their demo is basically a video of iJustine and MC Hammer talking about how easy and fun SnapLayout is to use.  While I have nothing against iJustine or MC Hammer, I thought I would make a demo showing off the service  itself.  Here’s my screencast tour of SnapLayout:

Mixaloo gives you a way to create digital mixtapes that you can share with your friends on your blog or favorite social networking site.  Of course, there is one small catch – in order to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song your friends have to purchase your mix.  Mixaloo says it will split the cash with you though, and you’ll earn points that you can use to get Mixaloo merchandise.  You can choose from over 3 million songs and add your own custom album cover and title.  The songs can be arranged in any order that you like and can be easily embedded right from Mixaloo.  They’re in private beta right now and there isn’t much information on the site, that I could find, about how you get your cash or merchandise but Mark from TechCrunch has written a great article explaining a bit more here.  Here’s my screencast tour of Mixaloo:
