I have been using Jing Project from TechSmith for some time now. I find the features useful and it is currently free to use. With Jing Project, I have an option to capture images, record videos and shared it online as well. I have tried many other softwares alike but I will share about how and why I use Jing Project practically daily.
Once downloaded and installed, an email address is required to be updated upon launch. This is an option for the screenshots (images) or screencasts (videos) to be uploaded automatically to the hosting server. Registering an email will create a free account with Screencast.com. I however prefer to save and upload it manually using my favorite free hosting service since Screencast.com is only free for now.
Capture Screen Shots (Images)
One of the good feature of Jing Project is the capability of taking screenshot of another screenshot. I have not found any other software that is capable to do the same. Furthermore, in the capturing mode it will display pixel measurement which is very useful to predict the size of the screenshot taken.
It also offers few tools in the editing mode itself. I can add arrows, texts, boxes, highlights and colors. It saves time without launching a photo editing software. Hopefully it will feature resizing as well in the future.
Now I usually choose to save my captures to my laptop but it do offer share or embed option through Screencast.com as I mentioned earlier. Screencast offers 1GB free hosting for the trial period but I rather have it always available in my laptop.
Record ScreenCasts (Video)
In recording mode, it is quite straight forward point and shoot. It is ideal for short video tutorials and can be enhanced by adding voice with microphone. The embedded video will be displayed in actual size taken and can only be saved in .swf format.
It is a good reference feature to keep tabs of all the screenshots and screencasts taken. It can be filtered by date or size and by formats. Hopefully this software will remain free and for now I do enjoy using it. Should you be interested, here is the link for download and you can learn of its full capabilities with their video tutorials and blog.

Use full software, but i use macintosh.
I am impressed with Jing Project. I guess the features you describe are very useful. You can take a screenshot of the screenshot of the screenshot. Nice
Most of the people adviced me that it would not be a good deal to buy a laptop, instead they advised me to buy a desktop. I don't know why people have so much misconception regarding buying a laptop.
thanks bro, this software rock.
