Ever wanted to take those cool screenshots of windows and cursors and annotate them but didn’t want to shell out money to buy screenshot utilities like SnagIt? Well then you should try the following:
The name might sound weird but it was developed as a utility for software testers to find bugs and report them along with the screenshots.
Bug Shooting offers you all the features you can want to get the perfect screenshots for your projects, reports and blogs. With Bug shooting you can capture the entire screen, a section of the screen, a window, capture with delay and so on.
Having recently bought a shiny new camcorder and then having uploaded my first YouTube video, I am now enthusiastically looking to see what new developments YouTube are working on. Their equivalent of Google Labs is called Test Tube and right now, there are four experiments that they are working on. In my opinion, only two of them are really worthwhile - Video Annotations and AudioSwap, and that is what I will be looking at today in this article.
It may sound like a threat, but the internet is not quite everywhere, yet. So what do you do when there’s no internet available to you? First, take a deep breath!
The answer is actually quite simple. You plan ahead and take the internet with you. Or at least parts of it. It may not be an efficient way to cater your online cravings, but you may finally catch up on some long due reading and best of all, it’s free.
I have two alternatives for you, and I will start with the smaller solution.
The Awesome Highlighter is actually exactly what it says it is. It is awesome and it is a highlighter. What they leave out from this product’s name is how awesome it really is. T.A.H. (The Awesome Highlighter) lets you mark up the web like it was a second hand text book.
I hear your grumbling….yeah yeah yeah you can highlight the web so what. How is that going to help me later or how can I send my friends to my marked up page? Well T.A.H. has it all under control. You simply visit The Awesome Highlighter and start your browsing from there. 
As much as some people hate it, there will always be times where you might have to collaborate with someone else. While working with someone else might make it easier to get ideas and finish faster, it’s going to be a nightmare if you don’t have the right tools for working together.
Who would want to have dozens of windows open while trying to explain some website to a fellow worker? It seems that there have been a lot of people who have been frustrated by working with others because there are quite a few tools out there to deal with this problem.
In case you never came across any ‘Web Annotation’ service before, than basically what it is, is a bookmarking tool (usually in the form of browser addon or bookmarklet) that allows users to annotate (add sticky notes, highlights, etc.) any desired webpage and store it online.
There are many cool things you can do with them, i.e. (1) quickly add sticky-like memos to your bookmarks, (2) bookmark long articles with relevant text being highlighted, (3) store, organize and tag annotated pages online and most importantly (4) share your annotations with friends or project/assignment group members.
