Many screenshot applications have been covered here for capturing WebPages, selected areas, full screen, etc… We all get the idea. Screenshots are screenshots. EasyScreenshot is a different screenshot application because it allows you to take a screenshot and upload it to your Twitter account automatically. Then you can tweet it at will. This makes screenshot sharing with others incredibly easy. You can attach text and brand the screenshot so everyone will know it came from you and the application has watermarking capabilities to top it all off. If you are a constant user of Twitter, this application is a must-have that will add a whole new element to your tweets.
Installation is just as easy as any other binary file installation. Follow the prompts, you know the routine. The EasyScreenshot interface is plain and simple and self-explanatory for the most part, as you can see:
There are a few things you need to know about this application, so this is a short tutorial to guide you through the screenshot tweeting process with EasyScreenshot. Click the Settings button to specify the folder that you want to save the screenshot in and specify other options.
Under the “Using the Image” heading, there are three options: Save To EasyScreenshot Folder, Prompt where to save and Copy Image to clipboard. Selecting the option to save to the EasyScreenshot Folder is going to give you a roundabout way to access the screenshot later on and it is really not a practical option, as you have to navigate to the folder and nobody has time for that and it is simply annoying. Rather, create a folder on your desktop and check the box next to “Prompt where to save” so you can easily find the screenshot at your leisure.
Now you can choose your TwitPic Uploading options. If you want to simply upload it to you Twitter account and tweet it later, don’t check “Tweet the screenshot” because it will instantly tweet it. To get any of it to work on you Twitter account, you need to enter your Username and Password in the field provided. After you have specified the desired settings, click the Save Settings button in the bottom pane. All you have to do is choose your screenshot and method of capture, take the screenshot and it is instantly uploaded or tweeted. That’s all there is to it!
You have shared the screenshot with your friends on Twitter now. This application is not for taking typical screenshots in the manner which you are accustomed to. It is specifically for sharing on Twitter. This comes in handy for business purposes when you need to quickly share a screenshot with an associate. They can then tweet you back and communicate whatever needs to be communicated and you can move on from there. The screenshot above was tweeted just for fun because the user thought it would be appreciated by his friends and is only an example of what you can do. Share selected areas or whole web pages with the option to include the URL and a message describing your intentions. Now go and tweet away!
