Intro to M.b screencast video

A few months ago on Timetable, I talked about how Micro.blog needs the equivalent of a college orientation session to get new people used to how the platform works. I took some time this morning to record a quick intro screencast video. It’s a little rushed because I tried to fit it into 2 minutes, but I’m glad to finally have something. I’ll be working to update it soon.

I’m adding a link to the video at the top of the “welcome” email that new users get when they sign up. You can also watch it on the help site here.

Good. Seeing it while you are describing it will help people a lot. Nice.

Smokey Ardisson

Nice! As you mentioned, it feels a little rushed/fast (do you ever breathe?! 😉 ), but it’s superb and more than functional for getting an intro/tutorial video out there. 👍👍

I really like the screencast! Seems like it might be good to put it on the front-page before signing up, as a tour of how it all works (and mentioning the no likes / no follower counts reasoning).

@syneryder Definitely, thanks. I just added a link to the video this morning, but it really should be more prominent.

Simon Woods

I like it. You cover the most important basics for most people to get started and everything is clear.
