Carol Haynes:
This looks an interesting idea from TechSmith - I am downloading as I type so I haven't tried it yet.

Here is the email I received from them:

You can download the app for free from:

and there is a blog by the developers at:

Hmmm ... tried installing this and all I get is "Jing has encountered an error and must exit !"

Tried repairing the installation and reinstalling but no luck.

Anyone else having problems?

visual conversation.. do they mean instant messenging?

Carol Haynes:
No I can't test it out ('cos I can't get it to run on my system) but it seems to be an app that allows you to capture regions of the screen as stills and movie sequences and then upload them to blogs or IM them to friends.

Check out the blog for more info:

(just click the video)

It looks a bit like a cross between SnagIt, Camtasia and the FlickR website (except they use screencast.com)

Basically you capture the bits you want from the screen and then Jing uploads it to Screencast and gives you a link to share via IM or email etc. Looks quite neat.

For once there are multiplatform versions too.

Tried Jing, it installed, but when I want to run it Jing crashes.  (vista 32bit uac off)
