With the powerful combination of Skitch.com and its companion application Skitch, image sharing is as simple as making a few mouse clicks. With Skitch you can quickly and easily send photos to business contacts, edit and add highlights and comments, or add photos to a business blog or website.

The Skitch image sharing site and software both function through simple, intuitive mouse commands. You could delegate company Skitching responsibilities to an employee or manager, there are plenty of reasons for you to stay involved:

1. It's fun. Using Skitch image sharing and other networking software can let you create or maintain business contacts in a novel setting—just the thing to liven up a world-weary executive or owner's day.

Download Skitch image sharing software

You can access Skitch.com without installing any software on your computer, but to get the fullest range of available tools and have the ability to work offline you must download the Skitch program as well.

I recommend: A Mac version of the Skitch software is available through Softpedia. Anyone, Mac or PC user, can sign up for the online service at Skitch.com but only those running the Skitch software can upload photos.

Let Skitch image sharing help you connect with others

For a business owner or manager, one of the greatest things about programs (and sites) like Skitch is that they let you reach out and connect with an enormous variety of people in a very short period of time. You'll find potential customers, clients, employees and contractors on networking sites like Skitch.com, and using the Skitch software gives you powerful new ways of getting your message across.

I recommend: Use the Skitch profile editor to define you or your company's online presence and control what others can find out about you. Try using Safari for a seamless click-and-drag experience when you start uploading photos to put a picture with your presence online.

Troubleshoot your Skitch image sharing experience

The beauty of this sort of highly interactive, intuitive software is that you can usually figure out and fix your own problems if you have the right tools. If you've having problems getting started with Skitch image sharing, advice is just a few mouse clicks away.

I recommend: Use the Skitch blog to keep current on the latest new features, bug fixes and ideas from Skitch's creators. The Skitch forums are another useful place to get help, advice, or ideas on how to creatively make use of Skitch's features.
