SnagIt is my screen capture program of choice. Once you've used Snag-It, you can never go back to ALT-PRINTSCREEN again. I use it to grab a quick image of a screen, or region; it can even be used to create short videos. When providing support to people in the next office, or next state, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words.
Those busy people at TechSmith have been experimenting with a number of fun things SnagIt related. New SnagIt Outputs were announced just last week.
So far my favorite is SnagIt Notes which let's you easily create sticky notes from SnagIt screenshots, and place them on your desktop. This gives you a tidier option than the REAL sticky notes that populate many monitors and desks.
Other outputs offer ways to easily share screenshots on your blog or via Skype or Flickr. These outputs/accessories require the latest version of SnagIt (8.2.3) , which may give you a good reason to upgrade. Thankfully, new versions are quite reasonable.
Watch for a future entry on another TechSmith experiment, the Jing Project.
