Jing is a great example of collaboration done right, quick and easy to use, with just a couple of clicks I am able to create a screencast and share it on my blog via screencast.com.
Here’s a sample screen cast I created with Jing.
Definately worth checking out the demo, the FAQ and the blog. Right now its free to use, so start using it now and convince your boss that its worth paying for when its out of beta!

Just when I thought it would be impossible for me to write any more on the benefits of multiple monitors along came another twist – the debate between one big one and several small ones!
Lets be clear for the type of work I do more is better, here’s why:
I am very big on symmetry so for me there’s no alternative to 3 monitors. Although maybe three with a forth above the central one would also work. My desktop supports four so maybe that’s an option for the future.
I actually have 4, right now, but ones my Tablet that I access via Synergy.
Anyway if you still want one large monitor then I strongly recommend this blog post on coding horror which has some links to really useful apps that help partition the screen. This new post that drills into some quantified benefits and these two (one – two) on web worker daily that have useful comments.
And just for completeness here are my old posts on the topic!
