Jing is the new Skitch

Well, kinda.

More and more in the course of my daily work, I find the need to share a quick screenshot with a friend of colleague to get a point across. I’ve been using Skitch for this, and it makes the process butter smooth. And with its friendly sounds and the UI snapping and sliding in and out of view, it’s a joy to use.

But sometimes I need to capture something in motion to truly explain it, and Skitch doesn’t do video. So I’ve been looking for something that makes video capture and sharing as great as Skitch makes image sharing. Preferably in flash. With one-click upload.

Today my friend soxiam pointed me to Jing. It’s just the ticket.

Still under development, and not quite as gooey and snazzy as Jing yet, but it uploads in one click, outputs flash, and does it all with a minimum of clicks. Mac and Windows, too. Wowza.
