Test it While it's Freeware - Jing

If you spend much time on StumbleUpon, you may have already had the opportunity to try freeware called "Jing", a video screen capture tool by TechSmith. Grab it while it's freeware, this software is being tested and if they decide to release it (for the Mac OS X and Windows), it's going to cost a pretty penny.

Jing is based on the idea that you can communicate your computer ideas more fully if you have this tool. With screen captures and videos up to 5 minutes in length, one can cover a great deal of territory. Also with the program is a starter account at Screencast.com, so you can upload your videos and pictures to share. I saw a Foxfire intro to version 3, and it was done with Jing. Very professional.

I think the whole concept around Jing brings goodwill to TechSmith. I have both SnagIt and Camtasia by this company, Jing falls somewhere in the middle. Maybe they'll decide to release it as a commercial version, maybe they'll decide there's not enough interest. I'd recommend you give it a try and see what you can produce with it. Some7666 have bookmarked it on del.icio.us.

So why not hustle over to http://www.jingproject.com and check it out? You'll have a new interesting tool to try and a golden globe at the top of your screen.
