cool idea, I posted a video as well
err link doesn’t seem to work here is the direct one
Vera,
I was most impressed with how you integrated screen shots of LingQ and the URL into your latest video. I must learn how to do this. I just turn on the webcam and talk. I think your way is more interesting. I will have to try to learn how to do it your way.
Hi Steve, Thank you for your nice words. It took me a while to figure out how to do a video in this way, but I had an idea how the video should be. I found a free German version of Camtasia Studio 3 (I wrote about this in another post). Camtasia Studio 3 is not the latest version but it works fine for my purpose.
First I record the video with the webcam-software. Then I record the videos from the screen with Camtasia and exported the video as a wmv. Then I use PIP (Picture in Picture) and Callouts to put all parts together and produce the video. At the end I exported it as a wmv and upload it in YouTube.
I can offer you some hardcopies how I do this. You find some nice videos about these techniques here: http://video.techsmith.com/camtasia/latest/edu/showme/enu/cs_showme.html?movie=1
Hi everyone, I recorded a fourth video for YouTube in German: Why it is paying off to create a lot of LinQs. I hope you like.
Hallo, ich habe ein viertes Video für YouTube in Deutsch aufgenommen: Warum es sich lohnt, viele LingQs zu erstellen. Ich hoffe, es gefällt Euch.

By the way, I would love to see more videos of LingQ users on YouTube! I want to encourage everyone to make a video!
Vera,
I am traveling right now, and in fact sitting in a meeting where I cannot play your video. I did something wrong when I tried to link the Wiki and LingQPlaza to my blog, and I lost the content spread sheet link at the same time. I will do something about this when I return to Vancouver. Thanks for your wonderful efforts, including the new content!
Wow cool Steve, using LingQ while sitting in a meeting!
Vincent asked on a comment at YouTube why I don’t do an English video. So I did a try: Here is my first video in English. I explain why I think that my active and my passive vocabulary are close together. Active vocabulary - YouTube
Or use the link to the group LingQ Plaza and look out for the newest videos: http://www.youtube.com/group/lingqplaza
Maybe I should concentrate on my learning 
Keep the videos coming. Great stuff! I must say, though that a video with no webcam is not as effective as actually seeing the person.
Yes, I know. But unfortunately I don’t have a webcam.
I think it’s better than no video at all, perhaps?
I wish more people would partizipate on LingQPlaza!
Ich habe ein neues Video für YouTube über LingQ in Deutsch aufgenommen. Ich erkläre, warum sich meiner Meinung nach Gespräche mit den Betreuern von LingQ lohnen. Ich hoffe, es gefällt Euch! Ich mache diese Videos übrigens, um Werbung für LingQ zu machen. Bitte bewertet das Video, wenn ihr es mögt. Bedenkt, dass gute Bewertungen einen höheren Werbeeffekt für LingQ bedeuten.

You can easily feel overwhelmed by all this new things related to LingQ.
Forum: Members, only for internal use; cannot be found by search engines.
Wiki: Members and maybe found by search engines. I would think the focus is on members.
LingQPlaza on YouTube: Videos for members; can be find by search engines. Videos can be instruction videos or a kind of promotion. Everything is possible.
Blog LingQCentral (for different languages): Everything is possible.
LingQ group on facebook: Everything is possible. It’s closely related to the blog.
LingQ on Twitter: Everything is possible. It’s closely related to the blog.
Videos from YouTube can be embedded to the wiki, the blog and facebook. Posts on the blog are automatically added to facebook and Twitter. All things are closely related to the others.
Hopefully every little piece will help.
The big question is which of all these efforts will pay off
