For the last few months, I've been using an application that's been in private beta, called Skitch. If you're not sure what it is, then check this out:

All the screenshots used on the RealMac forums recently, and here have been taken using Skitch and the tools it offers makes capturing screen images fun, intuitive, and hassle-free. It can, with a single click, upload the shots to either Flickr, FTP or the nifty mySkitch service and generates either the HTML code or the BBcode for the image regardless of where it's uploaded. Skitch, put very simply, is awesome. All singing, all dancing, it does exactly what I've dreamed a screenshot application would do. Perhaps that makes me a sad person, to dream about how a screenshot application uploads to the net, sings, dances and more But I just don't care: Skitch. Fucking. Rocks.

Highly perceptive readers might see something of interest in the above screenshot. Taken in Skitch. Of course. I do indeed have 200 invites to Skitch to give away, so if you want one, I'm going to play a little game. Send me something funny. Nothing gross. Something funny. If it makes me laugh, I'll trade it for a Skitch invite! Send things via the form here, or leave them in the comments.
