Skitch is the Speed Graphic camera of the Software Revolution

Speed Graphic Someone asked why Chris posts screenshots. While his thoughtful explanation makes sense, it can be stated simpler: Skitch & MySkitch.com are the Speed Graphic & AP Newsire of the software revolution. By bringing instant PROOF to user experience through shareable screenshots, Skitch accelerates design, development, and debugging by letting anyone “see what I see”. It’s bare-metal authenticity, reliability, and immediate, frictionless distribution — just like the rugged press camera whose images filled the AP’s feeds.

Tonight I used Skitch’s awesome workflow to eliminate the “it works on my machine” QA shuffle, cut through to the right developers, and get a bug in someone else’s app fixed in under 15 minutes.

Good evening.
