It does seem interesting... I'm having a little trouble understanding what it does. Basically it's a kind of image editor that's oriented more towards simple clipping, drawing, and sharing than complex tasks, and it's integrated into a system that allows you to easily share the images with other people over the internet, without having to upload them to a photobucket type of site?
Yes, its stuff you can do anyway, but easily, and beautifully. It has built in screenshotting, so I don't have to use Grab and then open it in Seashore, and photo taking etc.
It will replace QuickShareIt for my picture uploading, as it has that built in as well...
I made this (for another thread) in only a few seconds with Skitch, and it looks nicer than what I could have done in Seashore or Chocoflop in the same time.
Yeah, I could see a lot of good in that... now did you get a URL to put it in a forum thread directly from Skitch, or did you still have to upload it somewhere?

I've had a look at it, but it doesn't seem to do anything I need. It would, of course, be useful now and then, but how often? At least for me.
And you don't have to use Grab. It seems most people don't know about the
+Shift+4 and +Shift+3 shortcuts built-in to OS X Panther and Tiger. Panther made PDF's, Tiger makes PNG's (more useful) and stores them on your desktop.For me,
+Shift+4 and ChocoFlop or similar would be just as useful. 
There are probably snappier graphics apps than Choco doing the same out there aswell.Well, I am a QuickShareIt user...one could do it (with a simple button at the bottom), if they were properly registered
I don't feel morally wrong as their site claims:

The rec for quickshareit might possibly be even better than the Skitch one!

Its great, I use it for all my forum image adding...even if its just to save upload time to the MR servers...
And a lot more e-mails get through to my dodgy school e-mail (a lot of e-mails with a few files, but still under the size limit did not get through)
Getting back to skitch, I got what looks like my beta invitation. I didn't have time to check it out this morning, but this evening maybe or tomorrow, definitely.
Edit: I like these people:

Skitch enables you to snap anything you can see on your screen
(inc. iSight and iPhoto), draw and comment on it, then share it,
in about the time it took to read this sentence
mySkitch, it is the easiest way to get your drawings, photos,
scribbles, comments and lolcats (hehe) online!
Looks like Snap n Drag on performance enhancing drugs. I notice an Australian accent on the demo.
I installed it on my iBook this afternoon. I'm very impressed. Good recommendations, both, Psychofreak! Definitely I can see them both having a place on my iBook, at least. Possibly on my iMac as well. For the kind of quick webpost kind of stuff I do, Skitch is a much, much better choice than Seashore or Photoshop Elements. And the design is so natural and intuitive. An excellent Mac product.

An excellent Mac product.I have a beta copy and it seems very easy to use but I don't really have a use for this? I don't take screen grabs that often and when I do, +Shift+4 is all I really need. Never felt the need to write a comment or draw something on a screen grab
