Description: Jing is a free, downloadable application (Mac and Windows) that instantly captures and shares images and video. It allows you to snap a picture of anything on visible on your computer, record a video of what you are doing or what you see and then easily share those images and video with others. Jing is great for creating computer demonstrations or explanations. You can even add your own voiceover.

Price: Free (at least for now :)

Privacy: What you create is public if you choose to publish it to the Screencast.com servers (which is free), however you can save your images/video to your computer if privacy is an issue.

Online/Download: Jing is a downloadable application only. It cannot run from your web browser. You will need to download and install Jing before you can use it.
