I (heart) Skitch

Posted by Dave | Filed under Blogging, Design, Software

I installed Skitch this evening and I think I am in love. Seriously.

I haven’t been this impressed with a piece of software since I first played with FireFox.

Skitch is an amazingly intuitive screen capture and image editing application for the Mac. But there’s a twist. Skitch integrates with FTP, SFTP, Flickr, .Mac as well as the iSight camera. You can also post images to the social Skitch website in your Skitch account (here’s a link to my page). You can then easily embed the Skitch image from your Skitch page with the click of a button. Very impressive.

Mac-based bloggers (and there are a lot of them out there) are going to eat this up with spoons.

This could spell the death of Command + Shift + 3 for screen capture on a Mac. I’m sure I’m not the first person to pour a little malt liquor on the grave of that 3-button-plus-mouse-click pain-in-the-ass. But I’m one of the happiest.

One for me, one for my homies.
