A New Kind of Cast
The Internet is the ultimate gateway for voyeurism. Just about everything that I put online can be seen by everybody (although not everybody has time to take in what I have to share). Would you ever want me to broadcast my computer screen across the infobahn? Perhaps not, but… that idea didn't stop VNCCasts from launching. As a geek, you're likely familiar with VNC – Virtual Network Computing. Now, instead of connecting to a known machine, you can sit back and watch a relatively unknown person do untold things on his/her screen. I actually thought about doing something like this a while ago, but… didn't. Someone else did, and now it's time to reap the fruits of their labor. VNC is essential for our home network's operation – but now VNC can be fun, too.
You rely on your computer, and so do your customers. Keep your computers (and theirs!) running in near-perfect condition with the help of Optimize 3.0. Use it to get rid of unnecessary files and junk, clean out your registry, and even streamline boot times.

Hey – Really interesting post Chris, this IS the ultimate geek voyeurism!
What I would like to contribute however, is a different interesting use for VNC.
I think I came up with a very cool and super-useful hack for VNC – Using it to emulate having a hardware KVM.
Please check it out: A guide to building a software KVM switch
(And yes, of course you can publish a post about it… ;-))

Eh. Screencast have been around for a while, but the VNCCast name is clever.
They get a “boo” for having their feed icon link to only an atom feed (no enclosures, no subscribing to get the videos automatically) and no feed autodetection on the page, though. :-)

Yay thank you for mentioning this i can’t wait for this to become a huge public thing we can sit back and watch someone play games or give turtorials without a cam pointing to there screen and the, now it is a live feed of your screen, i can’t wait to use something like this in the future.
Also maybe someone can do something similar but intercept the VGA or DVI with a adapter and feed it back through usb and it gets recognized as a web cam.
