What's Next For The Jing Project?
...Well, hopefully exactly what you've been asking for. Our initial quest with Jing was to streamline all of the complexities involved in sharing digital media via your daily electronic conversations. We were able to do that because we had touch points on both the content creation side (with Jing) as well as the content delivery side (with Screencast.com).
While we achieved that goal technically, we learned from all of you that sharing has a much broader definition than just to Screencast.com. So, in past several weeks, we've taken your feedback to heart and have been working on some enhancements to Jing that we hope will address some of your needs...
Our hope is that you are able to expand how you might use Jing with new options for sharing directly to your private server via FTP, to a public service like Flickr or even to your local hard drive or corporate network via the "File" option.
We know this doesn't cover every sharing scenario, but we're on our way and your feedback will be crucial to continue that journey. So, what do you think?
Oh, when do you get this, you ask? Well... ...hmm, "before the snow flies as they say here in Michigan" :-)

Jing is a great tool - I was a previous user of SnagIt. One thing I miss in Jing is the ability to copy an image into an e-mail (seems to require saving the image to disk and opening in paint or similar to allow copying). Have I missed something obvious like Ctrl-A / Ctrl-C?
Thanks, PatM
I'm a heavy Camtasia Studio user, and am interested in being able to use a free service like Jing to allow anyone on my dev team to record content to then pull into Camtasia Studio for final production. Will this work with the .swf files and embedded controls it produces, or would I need the underlying, (and not exposed), recorder file?
I ask because in that case Jing becomes a driver to adopt more copies of Camtasia Studio, but does not work in the reverse. That is, my budget caps Camtasia Studio purchases in the absence of creative content, but with more creative content available from the team, it justifies more Studio purchases. Does that make sense?
@ Pasquale - Yes, we will be supporting Flickr integration as an initial step towards broader sharing. Sharing to video sites like YouTube have signficant challenges to overcome including the rendering issues that occur with screen related content. However we look forward to your resposne to how Jing works with Flickr and where we can go from there.

SFTP or SCP support would be nice. FTP is outdated, insecure (plaintext passwords) and disabled on lots of servers in favour of SFTP.
I can't figure out how to send the JING folks the information they wanted on the size of my captures, etc.
Can someone point me to a blog entry or some where it's explained?
Where can I find a FREE program (XP) that will enhance the cursor (make it more visible when I click) when I'm screencasting? Thanks
