Carrot Creative Blog

Somehow we have overlooked a blog post about this so far (I believe our twitter accounts have covered it, however). There are a few items that we use many, many times a day and find ourselves almost unable to live without them… this is one of them.

JING: This amazing (let me repeat- Uh-Mazing) service is currently free. This is hardly a justice to it’s capability, but the short of Jing is this- you can very quickly and seamlessly screenshot images or video of anything on your screen, within an area you select, and just as quickly choose to either shoot it to your personal ftp/site, save to your computer, or let them host it for free! The best part? If you choose to shoot it to the web, it will upload and auto place the URL into your clipboard- all you need to do is paste! This is all achieved with one click. Anyway, try it for yourself… the UI on the desktop widget is awesome. A true pleasure to use on Mac or PC

Do yourself a favor and check out their video demo, if you still have doubts. My only complaint is the logo… the curve/arrow on the ‘g’ makes me die a little inside, but the service itself actually makes up for this transgression.
