Skitch is the bomb

by Jeremy Schoemaker on July 23, 2007 · 40 comments

If you want a easy screenshot capture thingie, photo editor and hosting service look at Skitch. I frickin LOVE IT. Its Mac only but since only smart people read shoemoney.com you guys are all using macs already.

Bigups to bigdave who turned me on to skitch

Each and every Mac user knows, deep down in his heart that PC rule and will most likely continue to do so! Gates knows his stuff…

Me too. If someone gave me a free, top of the line mac, it would soon show up on someone’s auctionads banner.

One question only Shoemoney/a previous user can answer… since I’m such a stickler about efficiency… Does skitch give you the option to save the picture under various formats/levels of quality/etc..?

That’s my one pet peeve about various photo editing softwares out there.. is that you always need to “save to web” via photoshop to ensure the image is as small in size as possible – don’t ask me why, but I seem to lose sleep over those extra few KB – maybe I just feel for the dial up users?!

Ha! I get so tired of Windows crashing or outlook crashing just because I open a message or close a window. Don’t have those issues on Mac. Deep down inside PC users know they depend on Bill to steal the latest technological marvels and port them over!! :D

That’s why windows crashes? If its using Mac stuff just ported over, the problem is still Mac… lol.

Macs crash too, I used to use them in school all the time… but when they crash you have to unplug the damn things.. haha!

BTW, isn’t it Mac who has to port everything over? lol.

I’m not a homer… Mac and PCs both have positives and negatives…

Hey people

If you want to take accurate/quick screen shots, get SnagIt, I have used it for ages.

This would be quite helpful to someone with some computer knowledge but no experience in Photoshop. I’m gonna pass the link along to some friends who fit that profile.

Looks pretty cool. Seems like it would save a bit of time. I do upload random photos and such all the time so I might try it out

That looks cool as hell. I’ll have to try it on my laptop (mac), because my main unit is a PC.

Do you have any invites left? I’d sure love one. Cheers. Looks like a great little app.

Also looks like you opened a can of worms here with the whole Apple vs. PC debate. I will try and stay out of this one for now.

I’d like an invite too. Looks great. Let me know!
