Jing's Haiku Tooltip

| | Comments (6)

Vista and Windows 7 allow us to provide a tooltip for the programs in the Start Menu. Sure, we could have done something normal like "Capture screen images and videos." Booooriiing...

We wanted to capture the essence of Jing yet keep it short, and what better way than to use a Haiku! Don, our Mac dev, came up with this gem! Check it out:

We know it's silly, but let's have some fun. We're always looking for improvement--even when it comes to our tooltips. We appreciate feedback too! Do you want to make the tooltip for the next Jing release? It doesn't have to be a Haiku, but short is good. Post ideas here and if we especially like one, we'll add it to Jing! Have fun and be creative!

I love it. Reminds me of the error messages the BeOS used.

Simple question here. How do you log out of the Jing sun? The exit feature does not log me out and I'm not finding any privacy, preferences, or log out options.

Hello Andy,

I wish I had a better answer for you but there is no good way to log out of Jing. We understand this is a problem for public or shared computers and we intend to address it in some manner.

Who uses the menu? Jing should be loaded on startup! ;)

But for those that are doing it the wrong way:

"Show and tell just got easy."
"Don't you wish Jing were already running?"
"Sharing is good for you; click for your health."

Nice idea, can I borrow it? Please?

If you know what's good for you, Jing. Now!

Jingliness is next to godliness.

This is not a Jing free zone.

Jumping Jingbats Batman, that's cool.

Don't tell me, show me.
