The creators of Jing do not categorize it as either a product or a beta. They classify it as a "project" because it is still under development. Jing allows you to capture still shots or video off of your desktop very easily. The purpose of this is so you can share it with others via chat, email, forums or blogs. The content is hosted on Screencast.com.
Currently Jing is free, but things may change somewhere down the road if the company decides there is a real need for the tool. Besides being free the other great part about Jing is that it is compatible for both Macs and PC's, so everyone can give it a try.
I am not that familiar with Jing, but I have been trying to play around with it the last week or so. It seems useful in the classroom with my students because it can be used to create a tutorial for students to see how things work. I tried Jing out and created a tutorial on how to develop your very own Myspace page. It's at the bottom. Check it out!!
