So I found this new tool the other day.  It’s called Jing.  See: http://www.jingproject.com

It’s from the Techsmith wizards here in Michigan.  Techsmith is the company that created the most popular desktop capture tool called Camtasia.

What is the deal with Jing you say?  Well it’s a slick little app that sits on the middle of your desktop, always ready for a capture.  It looks like this:

When you roll your mouse over the little sun, it looks like this:

 You can then click the crosshairs to get a capture screen like this:

After you capture, with 1 simple click, you can seamlessly post it to your Screencast.com account and email the link.  I’m not sure I’ve seen a faster way of sharing screen shots with another user.

Give it a try! Seems like there are a ton of educational uses for this… Jing.
