Featured Jing User: Marc Shows How to Find WiFi Using JiWire
Hi everybody;
As part of my job, I get to hear many stories and see numerous examples of how people are using Jing in the real world.
I'm excited about this blog post because I get to share with all of you how one of our users, Marc Barman, uses Jing.
Marc lives just east of Sacramento, California, and has had many roles bridging computer technology and people. They include Technical Trainer, a Product Support Specialist, a Technology Transfer Specialist, a Systems Implementation Specialist, a Training Developer, a Systems Analyst, and a Troubleshooter. To keep sane and balanced he plays jazz saxophone and chauffeurs his Bouvier back and forth to the dog park.
When I asked Marc, what inspired him to make a screencast about JiWire.com, he told me:
When I first got my MacBook, I typed "Free WiFi" into Google, and got pointed to JiWire.com, a directory of WiFi locations. Recently, a friend of mine who is a nurse for a Sacramento-area hospice and visits patients all over town, was given a WiFi-enabled laptop. She asked me "How do I find WiFi locations?" I wanted to not only tell her the site address of JiWire, but also show her HOW to use it. Jing saves the day!
Here is his screencast (2:55). You may wish to click the full screen viewing option in the lower right.
Last but not least, our favorite quote from Marc:
"One Picture (still or moving) Is Worth A Thousand Words. Still true today! Actually, moving pictures are probably worth 1,000 words per second."
