Those of you who are upset about losing screenshots...Kristin gave me a link last night that was mentioned on DST for a program that does screenshots (images AND video...thought that was pretty cool). She's been using one called Skitch, but it's only for Mac (they supposedly are working on making it work for PC, but it's been like several months and there's still nothing).
So anyway...Kristin gave me a link to
The Jing Project and I FINALLY got it installed (you have to have Microsoft .NET installed, which I didn't and trying to install that was not working last night, but I restarted and it worked fine this morning).
Anyhow, it's pretty cool...while it's not as EASY as Hello...but it puts this little yellow half circle at the very top of your screen...when you want to do a screenshot, you just click on it and 3 little smaller circles shoot out from it, you choose "capture" from that. It gives you crosshairs to select which area of your screen you'd like to capture, then asks you if it's image or video. Once it takes the screenshot, it asks you if you'd like to upload via their host (screencast), or you can use Flickr, FTP, and a couple other options. It uploads quickly and immediately creates a URL and copies it to your clipboard, so you can send it to your friends in whatever chat program you are using.
Like I said, Kristin has been using one similar called Skitch for several months...we were trying to find a way for her to do something similar to Hello since she couldn't on a Mac. And it works pretty well for her, and the Jing Project seems to be REALLY similar to it.
Check it out!
Here...I'll show you a screenshot that I *just* took...
