Skitch Review
I have just been playing with a really cool new tool from plasq called Skitch. For a blogger especially this service is very useful, but I can see it coming in handy for most regular internet users.
What does it do?
At its core the tool is a screen capture utility. You can capture from your workspace or your webcam, then you can add text and draw. OK, this doesn’t sound too revolutionary, but there are enhancements that just make it so much better than it sounds.
- Intuitive interface - Everything is made easy and fast to use. No fiddling around with Photoshop and FTP for me now, click-click-click and I am done!
- Drag and Drop - If you want to email your picture or use it in another application you can copy and paste or drag and drop right from the application.
- Desktop and Web integration - When you are finished with your image you can upload directly to the MySkitch.com service, FTP/SFTP, WebDav or Flickr, and the MySkitch service includes options for copy and paste code for use in blogs, forums or just sharing with friends.
Unfortunately it is not available for general release as yet but you can sign up for a test account invitation. Find out more and watch the video over at the product page.
