If you're a CloudApp User (http://getcloudapp.com/), you can also drag a Skitch screen grab directly to the CloudApp menu bar icon and it will upload + copy the URL for you.

This is useful if you use CloudApp a lot (like I do) and would rather have all of your screenshots/fileshares in one location. Also, the CloudApp interface is less branded, so it feels about the same as going to the image URL directly.

Juarez: Screenr is good if you don't have privacy issues like some of the other people who have commented. Screenr publishes everything publicly.

Joshua: OMG, thank you!

Bruparel: I'll keep that in mind, although I don't think we have many "implementation" rules. We use them where needed I guess.

Under Preferences -> Share in Skitch you can set it to auto-copy the direct image URL when you click Share, saving you a bunch of steps.

That is if you upload it to the Jing service itself. You can go to the Jing settings and then "Preferences" and then "Customize Buttons". From there you can add a YouTube, Flickr, or FTP button if you want to make private uploads.

Cool tools, but I'm just a little bit confused with privacy policy of this kind of app's. Isn't it that whatever you upload into remote server by i.e. Free Jing account might be access by anybody from the outside ?

Thank you for the video. As a software tester I use Jing a lot to create screencaps or screencasts to include in bug tickets. I also use Skitch as well but that is at home because I have not been able to talk my boss into letting me use a Mac yet =(. You are right, this does help explain a problem..a picture is wroth a thousand words right?
