Jason Toal has put together a really fine screencast tutorial of Google Reader and posted it on SocialLearning.ca. I had never really dug GR before, but he does a really fine job of demonstrating the strengths of the application, including some snazzy interface goodies, clustering feeds, and the RSS output of starred items (which gets outputted on his personal page and elsewhere).

In the process, Jason learned how to make Camtasia sing, and how hard it is to keep a screencast under five minutes in length. Hope there’s more of this coming.

While I’m dealing shout-outs to JT, you must check out his Lickalicious mashup of Kiss and the Beastie Boys. Though really, I wish he had incorporated some of this.
