Jing Sample Screen Shot
I love free tools on the web that help me with efficiency, time management, or just being more effective at my job. I love them even more when their name makes me want to break out singing cheesy Fresh Prince songs from the 90′s. Jing does all of those things and more, and the best part is that it’s FREE to use (you can also upgrade to the Pro account).
I have to admit I was slow jumping on the Jing bandwagon. I have a good print screen function and a snipping tool on my computer already so didn’t think I needed Jing. After seeing all that it can do, however, I became a convert. Jing allows you to:
- Create a screenshot
- Create up to 5-minutes of screen recording
- Use Mark-up tools for images
- Get a Screencast.com Free Account (See the above image on Screencast at: http://screencast.com/t/BNuYV9wF)
According to the Jing website, “Simple and FREE, Jing is the perfect way to enhance your fast-paced online conversations. Create images and videos of what you see on your computer screen, then share them instantly!”
My only annoyance with Jing is where it’s located on my screen. I tend to have a dozen or more windows open at a time when I’m online. When open, Jing is located in the top middle of my screen, right where I need to click to move to another window. It’s a minor thing however and one I have been able to workaround.
