Jing is a really easy way to capture an image on your computer screen write your own notes on it.  You can add coloured boxes, text and arrows to explain or enhance your screenshot, then email it, tweet it, post to Flickr or on your website., or to record short 3 min videos. I’ve been using it alot lately for super quick tutorial for clients

Ways to Use Screencasts

• Add notes to a design project (multiple users can add to same file)
• Show customers how to use your software
• Share a snapshot of a document
• Add comments to your holiday photos
• Turn your blog photos into cartoon-style images
• Comment on employees/contributors/syudents work
• Post visuals of things you like on Twitter & Facebook
