Have you ever had the need to show someone how to do this and that, its easy you say – just click on “browse” and then select “This and that” and then click “ok”… You as well as I know that the person in the other end will say, where is that – no I don’t show that… in other words, a Video is worth a thousand words..

This is a very easy and simple “screen grabber”, it will allow you to make screenshots and screen’videos’ in a second, and best of all allow you to share these with others instantly (via the something called Screencast)..

for a live demo of a video capture (there is no sound here, but that’s only because I did not have a microphone nearby)..
For now the service is free, but I suppose that will not last forever. The driving force behind the product is Techsmith, known for products like SnagIT and Camtasia Studio.
I use Jing for documentation all the time now.
www.xobni.com If you as I recieve and send a ton of mails daily you quickly loose ‘the big picture’, when did you send that mail to whomever@whereever.com well, here is a plug-in for Outlook that will assist you in “data-mining” your email contacts. It is very simple and cool, but also somewhat hard to explain in a simple manner.
Basically, once installed you can click on any mail and the plug-in will immediately give you a lot of information about the sender (what ‘contacts’ you have in common based upon CC’s in e-mails between you, a list of the latest mails to and from this person and finally a list of files exchanged in e-mails to and from you and this person).. Go to www.xobni.com website for a more detailed presentation..
I’m sold to this concept.
