There is another neat web application that has caught my eye this week. Kwout allows you to "quote" a part of a web page by cutting out a piece of it to post to your own web site. You can post to Flickr, Tumblr or your web site with the easy to use embed code when your done.
To check out a demo of the service, try out this link:

Left-click and drag over the area you wish to cut out, or shrink and enlarge the image all together. The end result looks like this:
Give Kwout a shot next time you need to do a quick snapshot from the Web.

As a quick and easy way to grab a screenshot of any web site out there, SnapCasa does a pretty good job.
There are several tools out there that get the job done so the secret to being successful at this it to be quick. SnapCasa passes thus far in that regard.
Here is a little more about the service from those who developed it:
Take web page snapshots and website thumbnails of any site with SnapCasa. Place a simple img tag in your HTML page and our website thumbnail generator will provide a snapshot for you. Increase site traffic and click-through rate by including snapshots on your website.
Where most of these sites fall apart is that they are slower than me hitting the “print screen” button and then cropping the image and resizing myself. I am happy to say that SnapCasa does not fall victim to that issue.
They do an awesome job thus far and hopefully (unlike some others out there) will continue to get better over time. SnapCasa is my new home for getting a faster web site screenshot.

I love video games images, I think the old NES and SNES days deliver a lost art that you just don’t see with today’s video games. Plus I guess there is some nostalgia wrapped up in my feelings about it too.
If you want to cover you computer’s desktop with some video game levels - time to visit desktopgaming.com.
They have content from just about every old video game system you can think of and honestly I could spend hours just browsing through the images. Right now I am using the World of Ruin map from Final Fantasy 6 but later I know I must at least try to have the 1st level from Super Mario Bros.
I just wish somebody had a better world map (I want the whole thing) from the Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past. Want to make your own? They have a tutorial that will teach you the ways.
Many props go out to Todd for finding this jewel.
