In our ongoing search to find fun online tools, we found Jing. It’s a great tool to annotate screenshots and includes a really easy upload component so that sharing is easy. You can also create a video of user interaction on a site and share that. However, the best thing we found on the site is the refreshingly lo-fi demo video. It’s a simple and fun use of Swift3D.

We’re trying Stixy as an internal collaborative work space for projects. As long term Basecamp users, we’re used to a digital project management solution and Basecamp works well as a tool to share with clients. However, it always seems too structured as a workspace. Stixy, however, is a free form desktop that can be used to share notes, to dos, photos, calendars and is much more intuitive for our designer minds (i.e., it allows you to be messy as well as make things pretty)!

TechCrunch provides a nice overview of Stixy, as well as calls out future enhancements that include chat/messaging as well as drag-and-drop functionality. TechCrunch also points out negatives like lack of Stixyboard ownership and file versioning. For now, we’re fine with the lack of these features as long as we can color theme our projects.
