This Jing app is an application provided by TechSmith.com and is used used to take screen captures (shots) and up to 5 minute screen videos.  This is absolutely one of my favorite #FREE apps and it will work for both #windows and #macs.  Here are the pluses and minuses:

+ FREE (Does require you to register the app with an email address)

+ Powerful annotation tools

– Once a still has been captured it cannot be edited (there is another app by TechSmith.com Snagit for $50.00 that will do that)

– Any video captured is only saved in a Adobe Flash format that is virtually useless without being embedded within a website or it has to be uploaded to the FREE ScreenCast.com site.

Please download it and tell us what you think.
