How I Use Jing with a Wiki
Good day!
I made a video (3:10) showing a neat way to use Jing and the embed code returned from Screencast.com. Basically the end result is that using Jing is so much faster than putting images on our internal wiki the "normal" way. As an added benefit, I can make thumbnails that link to the full size images.
If you have a blog, social networking page, website, wiki, etc., I think you may find this interesting.
P.S. The green UI in my example isn't for real. :)

Wow that's awesome! Nice video too!
Hey that's cool! I use Jing ALL THE TIME and being a founder of MindTouch (the wiki you show) I tend to use it a lot too :-).
Dear Jing, please add MindTouch integration.
If the the embed code were copied as HTML format to the clipboard (instead of text format). You wouldn't even need to toggle to source mode at all. Just paste and done!
Also, couldn't you have resized the image in WYSYWIG mode as well using the handles on the corner of the image?
Great demo though! Thanks! :)
@ Steve,
Hah! I had just assumed that if I resized using the handles then I'd lose the ability to have the thumbnail to the full size image. Sure enough though, you're 100% correct--now THAT's the way to go! Thanks!!

@Mike,
Anyway to get Jing to paste the link as HTML to the clipboard? We've had many requests on our forums about being able to paste directly into the editor and this would make it possible. Love to let our users know about it!
I used Confluence which let's you edit the pages in Word. That makes copy & paste of images a breeze; much easier than embedding code!
