Jing by Tech Smith is a free software that allows you to add visuals to your online conversations. Instead of writing a plain old email, use Jing to do screen captures of what you see, or better yet do a screencast where you can record what you are seeing and doing on screen, as well as narrate the whole process at the same time. Jing then provides you with a link that you can put into your email message…and you’ve just made email a heck of a lot more interesting!
We use it all the time and have found that it really connects us with our clients because Jing’s minimal feature set keeps the focus on instant sharing. Try it once, and you’ll be hooked…guaranteed!
What do we use Jing for?
We use Jing to send Visual eVoicemails, to give client or supplier feedback, to present proposals, we even use it to sing Happy Birthday to clients, friends and family.

Here are a few samples of how we use Jing on a weekly basis:

OK…this is not only cool…but it’s damn practical. Animoto Productions is a bunch of techies and film/tv producers who decided to lock themselves in a room together and nerd out. Animoto is a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos using their own patent-pending technology and high-end motion design. Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Produced on a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.

Even though the West Coast cooking with Pacific Rim flavours is exquisite, and the interior boasts of inviting warmth and comfort, these are not the most impressive features of the Goldfish brand.
What really marked us before, during and after our experience was the exceptional and consistent service the Goldfish team provided. An authentic and devoted server that makes you feel like the only table in the room, the request for feedback at the end of your meal with the prompt delivery of a gift certificate as a thank you, and the cherry on the sundae…a handwritten card from our server received at our home thanking us for having visited, and even detailing certain discussions of the evening.
Check this one out, it’s worth it!
