I know that so much. Skitch is so crippled now. It was my favorite fast and simple "here let me point it out and show you" tool for everything. I annotated everything with it. With evernote killing the ease of "let me show" half, whats the point of annotating things and taking screen shots?

If there was ever an opportunity for a disruptive simple startup idea it would be to replicate what skitch did before evernote bought it and broke the original use case.

I've still been using the old version of Skitch, but without the instant upload and copy to clipboard it was a lot less useful.

Then I found these this week:

Skitch to S3 upload (through webdav) — http://brad.me/skitchs3

Skitch to CloudApp upload — http://brad.me/skitchcloud

If you are a CloudApp user (http://getcloudapp.com/) the second one is super slick. Pretty much duplicates the old Skitch functionality and returns a short URL that you can use to post. You can also use a custom domain with CloudApp if you use the paid service.

Totally made Skitch useful again.

I agree, and apparently so do the developers because they still have a download link to the old Skitch on their site: http://evernote.com/skitch/
Check out this monosnap.com thing that piranha posted in the next comment. It seems to do the basic stuff that I needed from Skitch.
