You Suck at Photoshop
Heavy Metal Umlaut
by Jon Udell who coined the term,
“Screencast” in 2004

Jon Udell 02/07/2005
“When Wikipedia's page on the heavy metal umlaut made the rounds of the blogosphere recently, I decided to make a
documentary screencast that would illustrate and narrate Wikipedia's editorial process. The screencast was well received, and
a number of people wrote wondering how I made it...Back in November, when I wrote that column, I didn't know what to call
this medium I've been working in. So I posted a call for names on my blog, and a couple of days later, I collated the
responses and settled on the term screencast. It looks like that name is going to stick.”
