Skitch moves into invite-beta mode… its like the 2.0 version of PaintShopPro
Updates: The official Skitch site is located at: www.plasq.com/skitch.We have 50 invites! Invites gone, grab the feed to be notified when we snag some more for ya’all!
I received a tip last week that Skitch, by Plasq, was moving into invite-beta mode this week. Colin just posted additional information about this move. I am in the process of attempting to get beta keys for all of you, but for now, hop over to Colin's blog for a key.
So I remember being a young kid, going to a computer fair and buying the first version of PSP – Paint Shop Pro. It came on one 3.5" floppy and made me so excited to draw and color. Skitch reminds me of PSP in it's ease of use and absolute functionality.
Skitch is not here to replace Photoshop. Skitch is like MS Paint on drugs. Colin has an in-depth overview which includes, "Skitch is jammed packed with features yet the interface for those features never gets in your way or becomes overbearing. Quickly take a screenshot in just about anyway you can think of. Then you can annotate a screenshot once you’ve captured it. Sharing your screenshot with the world is probably Skitch’s strong suit."
So basically Skitch is a way to take screenshots, mark them up, and share them with the world. Loads of "uploaded by Skitch" notes are appearing on Flickr. The app is available on the mac only and my hope is that they release a web-version of this. This would make a great iPhone app.
Lastly, they are also launching MySkitch, a social network around sharing the screenshots.

nice one, i can’t wait to start working on this app, i’m just hoping there will be a good API to go with it :D
I have been watching this for a while, good to here they hit a new benchmark! Online Productivity FTW! Would love to try this out.
This looks like a very cool app to edit images, can’t wait to get my hands on skitch! :)
Very cool and actually seems useful.
I usually use photoshop but its so big and its kind of a hassle to do minor editing and to share stuff with my friends.
I would love an invite if you have any left
This is an awsome piece of software, please hook me up with and invite.
This is great. It seems more stuff can be done 100% online now. Please, please send me an invitation
I’d love to try this out, your writeup left me enthused, this looks fun.
pretty cool product. Nice to see them making publishing and sharing images on the web easy.
Nice write up, Allen. Skitch seems fantastic to me, so quick and easy! And, unlike many services, is actually very useful.
I’ve wrote about it here: http://blog.mattharwood.co.uk/2007/06/14/skitch-image-editing-20/
Shouldn’t this Aussie car salesman be hawking a limited-use, limited-life plastic sweeper, felt-strip mop, bamboo steamer, or stick-on light?
This looks like an amazing way to edit things. I wanted to play around with some image editing for a funny political cartoon I had the other day but I couldnt figure out how to use Photoshop. I am happy there is now an EASY program to use.
Yeah, I think I remember the PSP on the 3.5″ disk. I’m not sure if that came in color though. Anyways, Skitch looks really cool.
Yeah, it’s really cool!
I’m amazed at the promo video they put together. I’ve posted a comment over at Colin’s blog. Hopefully I’ll get an invite so I can try it out. Once I give it the once-over, I’ll definitely post about it over at the HTMLCenter blog.
