The Jing Experience - Review

Formerly known as the "Jing Project", Jing is an easy way to share and create not only images but video tutorials and was created by TechSmith. To give you a few background, Jing is a screencast computer program which enables you to choose if you would save your created file in your desktop or in the web. All it takes is a single click!

As soon as you're done capturing your desired shot, Jing will allow you to add text, arrows, and frames to easily pinpoint to your audience the climax in that shot. When you've decided to put it in the web, after a single click, it will automatically upload that image/video to screencast.com (which is another product of TechSmith) and immediately saves the link in your clipboard for easy pasting of the generated link for sharing.

For those interested, when you register to Jing, you'll also be entitled with 2GB storage and 2GB monthly bandwidth in screencast. Being a non-video tutorial fan I just mainly use Jing as a way to capture screenshots and point out the thought/idea or the process in a certain image which makes 2GB a lot of space for future use. Besides that, you could also login to screencast and be able to delete any unwanted files you've uploaded or track which is which when it comes to bandwidth consumption.

Oh by the way.. Aside from the regular setup for you Desktop/Laptops, you'll also be needing a .NET 4.0 Framework (or higher)..

How about you? Have you tried Jing as your screencasting partner or a Snipping Tool alternative?
