Get Gyazo for seriously-instant screen-grabbing
I've been a big proponent of Jing for screencapture for a while. I still love it, and it's top notch for sharing video, but I've come to enjoy a free tool called Gyazo for screenshots. Both of these tools are invaluable when it comes to web development QA.
Below you'll see a screencast demonstrating gyazo to the #jquery IRC channel:
Both Jing and Gyazo provide hosting for you (infinite, eternal store, as far as I've seen), and they both automatically copy the url to your clipboard. Gyazo is a bit quicker for images, and also doesn't have a business model, which is comforting. :)
And it's cross-browser as long as you don't mind some Japanese text:
Oh and open source. :) I think you can even host your own image repo if you don't want to use gyazo.com.
Handy tip, keep the shortcut somewhere totally handy. On Windows, I keep mine with the quick launch icons.

Gyzano has been really handy for me w/ debugging/sharing as well.
I'm going to take Jing for a spin, btw I couldn't get your Jing video to play.
I'm using http://www.stitch.com on my mac, but Gyazo have a windows versioan. Thanks!
Thanks Paul & Ben for the self-hosting mod, I've been looking for something like this for the mac. The screen capture tool I like for Windows is Cropper. It saves to your specified directory and outputs to BMP, JPG, PNG, or clipboard. You get to specify the naming convention.

Apparently there are plugins that allow you to post directly to flickr, S3, and others that I haven't tried.
@Ben
Gyazo has clients for both windows and mac, so it'd be my tool of choice. Unless you need to annotate or capture video, then i'd go to Jing.
Hi, I'm one of the developer of Gyazo.com
Now Gyazo windows version is available at official gyazo.com.
