Jing + Skype Chats = Cool!

Posted on Sunday August 12, 2007 by Betsy Weber

I saw a great use of Jing this week. I participate in a Technology Chat room on Skype and at one point in the conversation, someone sent a link to a Jing screen capture!

This is a perfect use for Jing! It's much faster and easier for me to follow the URL than download a file sent via chat. One of the ways I use Jing the most is in instant message chats. Take a quick screenshot or video and post the link in your chat message. Done! Your point is made quickly and clearly.

How are you using Jing?

Haven't really had a use for it yet, but it's sitting there all the time at the corner of my screen just in case.

Awesome idea. Awesome app.!

Dear Jing,

I'm a Duct Tape Marketing Coach (www.ducttapemarketing.com). This website is featured at Harvard Business School and ranked by Forbes Business as a top marketing favorite.

I just wanted to comment and offer you encouragement. We specialize in working with small business teams and I wanted to let you know I love your company feel and "Jing" the service. We are constantly at the edge of technology to assist our clients and I just wanted to let you know I appreciate what you are doing.

I have already implemented Jing into my coaching practice with great success.

Great Work,

I use it for work to share things on my screen insanely fast (I telecommute).

Too bad our IM system uses MSN and that have that stupid .scr bug.

We use it during impromptu Skype chats about our product developments and for troubleshooting issues (user feedback). For spontaneous requirements during chat conversations, it's quicker and more efficient than establishing a remote viewing (i.e. GoToMeeting) or remote control session.

i use it for capturing user stories and responding to iterations in my webdev projects.

I use it for demoing procedures to the faculty members that I support. I have created a number of screencasts. We had one instance where the faculty member was trying to create a test in our CMS and one of the sort features was not working properly. It turned out that there was just a certain order that the options had to be turned on in for it to work properly. This was way to specific for an email as it would have been about a page long so I used Jing.

I have also created a screencast to show people how to access my calendar via outlook. This is really simple but so many people don't know how to do it. I keep a .txt file on my desktop with the url and some text telling people what it is and just paste it into emails all the time.

Thanks I love Jing :-)

I used Jing to capture a Skype call to use in a Web 2.0 workshop and also captured a video of a visit to AET Zone, an online virtual community built and maintained by the staff & students at Appalachian State U. I opened it with QuickTime Pro and saved it so that I could paste it into Keynote. Now I can share AETZ without an Internet connection.

It worked like a charm. Please keep this product affordable! I love it.

Can anyone help me with this?
