#2Good marketing idea from articulate - makes it seem like it's some startup but, in reality, it's just a way for articulate to get more people in their funnel. I like it.

#3Would be nice if it had some advanced features like follow the mouse, zoom, etc.

#4What does this have to do with twitter? It's really annoying to see these types of services say now you can do this for twitter, just capitalizing on the twitter brand.
Really, you can do this with Jing, which is more feature rich and also easier to use. http://www.jingproject.com

#5I like the fact I don't have to download and install a software to capture screencasts. I don't care much about posting it to twitter, but it is definitely useful.
The finished video isn't very good at displaying text, so it is really hard to read.

While Jing is cool, it requires an install, while screenr doesn't. Does that matter for most folks? I dunno.
It's Java, so it might work on Linux, I dunno. I haven't tried. I don't have the Java plugin installed, and don't consider it worth bothering with at the moment. But, if it did work on Linux, that'd be enough for me to use it occasionally. Big projects would still make me reboot into Windows to use Camtasia, but it would definitely take the place of Jing (since I wouldn't have to reboot).

Agreed. A better pitch may be, "the easiest way to get screencasts on the web". This is like Skitch, but for screencasts.
For Twitter buzz, throw some stupid badge in there that says, "works with Twitter!"
Jing looks like some kind of Tonka Truck toy. Design matters, Screenr has that down. Now for revenue... not sure, I just know that Twitter wins big time w/ the way Screenr is setup.

Wow, thanks for the Jing link -- it's exactly what I was looking for. Screenr is really slick in terms of UX and simplicity, but without private (or hidden) sharing like Jing, I can't use it very much for day to day work stuff.
