So many things 'fly by' me when I'm working. I get to know Websites, technologies, design ideas and people all the time. This Blog is about these types of information/knowledge we all gather, while we are working...
Screen capture is an important tool for me. As a follow up to the Jing and Skitch post, I would like to add Evernote.
Evernote works on your desktop (Windows/Mac) as well as on your iPhone and other mobiles.
It is more than just a screen capture.
"... Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere. ..."
I use it to capture ideas (via snapshots, text and audio notes) on the iPhone and sync them to my MacBook. (There is a built-in synchronization service for free + premium accounts)
But, one of the coolest feature it has is screen capture for the iPhone:
Side note: Interesting to see that they are using Skitch for their screen shots...
"An image worth a thousand words" (as long as it does not take too much time to produce...).
Screen shot and screen cast (movies) are one of my key tools to communicate, design and share ideas and content.
It use to be hard to capture a good snapshot, clean it, resize it and then add some text and other graphics to support your message.
Not anymore.
In the last few months, I've been using Jing from TechSmith. It is a great tool that allows me to take snapshots as well as movies and to save them locally or on their hosting service. Very easy to use and the latest update include copy to clipboard and some other features, making it powerful and simple to use.
Skitch has a clean UI and very simple and powerful features, such as resizing the snapshot and saving in several formats to the desktop (by D&D) and to a hosted service.
It also supports taking snapshots from the Webcam.
