Screen capture tools

From Digital Inspiration comes a nice list of free screen capture tools. I do agree with the recommendation of buying SnagIt if you are going to be doing a lot of screen shooting. Well worth the $40. Otherwise these free tools will get you what you need.

You might also want to check out this post on capturing shots from your browser and if you need to capture motion and screen activity instead of static screenshots check out the post on Screencasting tools.

Great *FREE* online collaboration tool

I’ve played with this a little bit but not for a “real” conference. It looks really nice. Especially considering the price tag.

Has anyone had any exeperiencs with this tool? I’d love to hear how it worked for you.
