Here is my startup http://floomby.com. Floomby captures and shares screenshots. What tools do you use to share screenshots?

RomanZolotarev• 18 years ago

I use evernote.com

pmsaue0• 18 years ago

wow. this program is the bomb

defann5• 18 years ago

I use: Printscreen + Adobe Photoshop + Gmail :)

defann5• 18 years ago

Nice tool, it's for win but works on linux+wine even. Good luck!

ivankuznetsov• 18 years ago

I'm use PrintScreen on Mac and Apple Mail

ned• 18 years ago

Skitch !

defann5• 18 years ago

It's for Mac only?

bretthoerner• 18 years ago

Sure is. And it's awesome.

ivank• 18 years ago

Alt+Print Screen, paste to public Dropbox folder (Directory Opus supports screenshot paste), right click->copy public link

defann5• 18 years ago

Dropbox rocks.

pacificleo• 18 years ago

i use kam studio and SnagIT . will try your tool too

swombat2• 18 years ago

Either skitch, or just Shift-Ctrl-Cmd-4 and paste into an iChat window.

hbien• 18 years ago

Same here, but the Ctrl isn't required.

swombat2• 18 years ago

It is if you want to put the screenshot in the clipboard rather than on the Desktop.

DabAsteroid• 18 years ago

It looks like the Wikipedia article about your company was taken down already.

Sep 4, 2008 ... Floomby - internet service for sharing screenshots and files on the web. It was developed by Alexander Katasonov and Andrey Ivanichenko.

Do you have any relation to the individual posting in this thread as ivankuznetsov?

I use Jing: http://www.jingproject.com/

The way it works is really nice, it is easy to capture and share. Unfortunately the application is a bit too heavy for my laptop (1 gig memory etc). Starts really slow and takes up too much of memory.

kbz• 18 years ago

I agree, it is too heavy and requires .NET Framework 3.0.

defann5• 18 years ago

Jing not work for me on Windows XP SP2 + .Net 3.0 :(

thorax• 18 years ago

I love it because it can upload to my own FTP and paste links from my own site which is often faster than screencast.com for my audience.

Startup time really sucks, though. But once it's running, I'm super, super pleased with it.

adilsaleem• 18 years ago

It would be good if the application shows a preview of screen capture before uploading

I am currently using Snagit

robhu• 18 years ago

Definitely Skitch. Skitch is amazing.

meqif• 18 years ago

I use scrot and then upload the resulting screenshot to my slice.

DanielBMarkham• 18 years ago

SnagIt -- best tool out there for Windows

floozyspeak• 18 years ago

Skitch, ScreenSteps, and another one I forget that starts with P, and its a whole page capture tool on the mac.

j0ncc• 18 years ago

I use GrabUp (http://grabup.com). It's much quicker than skitch but it has a stripped down feature set.

scottw• 18 years ago

I have a little bash script I use on OS X:

screencapture -x screen.png && scp screen.png myserver:www

cjvino• 18 years ago

Snapz Pro X for screenshots and department web site or email to share.

junglist313• 18 years ago

super+drag (ubuntu) and Flickr

hs• 18 years ago

import (ImageMagick) + hg (mercurial)
