Grant Robinson’s thoughts and findings on design, games and digitalia
Bookmarks are great, but because sites are changing all the time they’re no good for capturing the design of a page or element. Over the years I’ve played with lots of different way to capture and keep screenshots. Flickr was working well for me for a while but it’s too slow and cumbersome. Last week I ran into a great new tool called ScrnShots. It’s an online image sharing site with community features (yeah so what I hear you say) but it has a great handy desktop tool that really does take the pain out of capturing, tagging and uploading your screenshots. Check out my collection so far then go grab yourself an account!

Thanks for the link.
I made my own screenshot blogging tool earlier this year as I was unable to find something specific (a tool that allowed me to capture whatever that was on my screen and upload it to a specific blog/livejournal without my having to log in to a specific site).
I’m still unsure of what to call it (currently called sBlog) but I’ve used it almost daily just posting my current progress of works on my blogger/lovejournal accounts for my own archive and clients/collegues.
It’s obviously not as fancy as any web 2.0 apps that you see as I made it myself but I figured you might appreciate it.
It doesn’t use any complicated system to work. As long as the site allows email blogging (flickr, blogger, lj), it should work. :}
Anyway, I’m off to explore ScrnShots now. Ta!
