#35: Tools You Should Be Using Part I - Viddler
Here it is, a special VIDEO Edition of Creating Comics! to kick off the first installment of a series of columns on creating comics tools I think more comics creators should be using. Now, many of you are tech savvy folk, and will already be familiar with some of the tools I'll be talking about, and are using them to great effect. If that's the case, please chime in and share how you're using them (or if you're using something else to complete a similar function.)
First up: Viddler. (No, it's not a bad Batman villain knock-off.) Instead, it's an alternative to YouTube that has a number of cool features I think comics creators can and should be taking advantage of. All right... Less reading and more watching!
NEXT: Tools You Should Be Using Part II - Google Wave
