What is JShot? 

JShot is a free and multiplatform screen capture and uploader utility which runs on various operating systems. It allows you to capture a part of your screen and publish it in one step. It is useful if you want to link your screenshot to your instant messaging or chat/irc partner. You can upload your screenshot to an arbitrary FTP server, Image hosting server (like ImageShack) or send it to your  Instant Messaging (such as Skype) partner. It also copies the link of your screenshot to the clipboard, so you can publish your shot in one single step. Currently Skype, ImageShack, kepfeltoltes.hu and arbitrary FTP servers are supported. It is possible to extend the functionality of JShot by installing plugins so this list will probably enlarge.

 JShot also has drawing and image editing functionalities. It supports drawing shapes on the picture, cropping, rotating, text annotation etc.
