In about 2 nanoseconds I learned how to capture a screen shot using a free media sharing tool called Jing. This little gizmo (technical term) has far-reaching implications for creating online tutorials on the fly and for delivering customized desktop support.
Jing allows you to do static screen shots and annotate them, like the PubMed screen in the above example as well as create videos of your mouse movements and share them with people. Now I'm thinking, "Why did I spend all that time and energy on Captivate?" The answer: so I can make tutorials that are more than five minutes long, which is Jing's limit. That's okay. Most peoples' attention span is about that long anyway, mine included.
