Demofuse Tour
June 12th, 2007 by Greg R Notess
Well this is not exactly screencasting, but Demofuse is a fascinating technology anyway. You can use it to create a special link that gives a tour of a Web page. I’ve only played around with it a bit, but it seems to be limited to a one page tour at a time, and you have to have edit access to the page so you can add a two lines of Javascript to the bottom. The process is fairly simple — I should do a screencast of it. But for now, take a look at a quick Demofuse tour on the home page of LibCasting (or click the button below which is the code they offer. The link to the tour of the page just adds a single variable to the end of the URL which quickly disappears once the tour starts. But the tour does not show when readers go straight to the page. In other words, a link to
http://www.notess.com/screencasting/
will not start the tour but one to
http://www.notess.com/screencasting/?dftid=1427413
will.
