Interesting that you'd switch from Skitch if it had that feature set. I can't imagine a scenario where I'd ever prefer to hit, from a page I'd like a screenshot of:

    > cmd+l, cmd+c, cmd+t, sna, <down-arrow>, enter, tab, cmd+v, enter, right click generated image, copy link
As opposed to (skitch keybinds):

    > cmd+shift+5, click once in my browser window, click once on share link
Out of curiosity, what is it that makes the web-based workflow more appealing to you as a user?

It's more the annotation/cropping feature set that would make it valuable. Currently to mark up a site, I need to go to that site, open skitch, take the snapshot, then edit it in skitch, then save. Then attach it to a gmail message and send (or upload to dropbox and send the link).

If there was a cloud solution that could do all of this, and provide a link that I could just send someone - it's just so much easier.

Making a snapito bookmarklet seems trivial. Here, have one:

  javascript:window.location=%22http://snapito.com/?url=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.location)
Given such a bookmarklet, the workflow becomes: click bookmarklet, click share link.
