This service allows upload Flash files for sharing games, animations, etc... But we can use it for upload our screencasts made with Jing, Captivate or Camtasia and share with the community.
The upload doesn't require registration, it is totally anonymous, or if you want it, you can register and upload the files using your alias name.
Also it is easy upload files as public or private access, you can attach directly in your web the uploaded file or link to the page. Now you can share screencast with anyone although you don't have a personal hosting service.
