Jing “Add visuals to your online conversations”
Someone on Twitter was asking about screen capture software and I suggested Jing. I haven’t seen to much information about Jing on the net so I thought I would write this post. The people at Tech Smith. The same ones that created Camtasia Studio, which is the program I use for all my narrated PowerPoints, and screen capture tutorials, created a project called Jing. The mission of Jing is to make it simple for people to create content and share it immediately online. So if your into creating screen captures and are looking for something easy. Check out the Jing Project at http://www.jingproject.com/.
