Camtasia Studio Tutorials Available on your iPad

TechSmith has released a new iPad app called Fast Track that will help you learn the Camtasia Stuidio program at your leisure on your iPad.
The app has a collection of video tutorials, or screencasts, that cover almost every feature of the Camtasia screencasting program and whether you use Camtasia for screen recording or for recording PowerPoint presentations, you may learn something new through these tutorials. All videos tutorials have text transcripts as well though they are only available in the portrait mode.
TechSmith’s YouTube Channel (@ChannelTechSmith) also contains a good collection of screencasting related tutorials but the advantage with the new Fast Track app is that it also works offline – you don’t need an Internet connection to watch any of the tutorials. And it’s free.
I think, going forward, TechSmith will extend this app beyond Camtasia Studio and include tutorials for other products as well including SnagIt, Jing and Camtasia for Mac.

The Wonders of Facebook and Google

There are four characters in this true story – father, mother, son and a daughter.
When their marriage broke down, the father took away his son with him to another country though he was just three years old at that time.
That incident happened some 27 years ago and the mother has been searching for her son ever since.
One day, the couple’s daughter, who stays with her mother, typed the name of her "lost" brother into Google and came across a link to some Facebook profile that had the same name as her brother.
She sent a message to that Facebook user and, as luck would have it, he was her brother. The family was reunited through Facebook and Google after some 30 years.
BBC has a video of the reunion while The Sun has more details on how the family members traced their lost son.
