Kwout – An awesome way to get those screen shots!

Every once a while you come across a site that just makes you feel glad you are on the Internet. Kwout is one of them!

You can take screen shots of any web page with Kwout. What’s so great about that eh? Well, for once, the screen shots would have the links click-able in them! Now, Isn’t that awesome?

Kwout uses something called as an image map that keeps the hyperlinks in the screen shots click-able. There’s a bookmarklet for your browser. Anytime you need to take a screen shot just click the bookmarklet.

The only hindrance we came across was the screen shot size limit of 600 x 600. But that seems manageable, not a big issue.

Once you take a screen shot, you can share it not only on twitter but a host of other sites as well. There are a few decorative options as well that let you select the border, size and other such options.

Kwout offers a host of tools including a FireFox add-on, GreaseMonkey Script as well as an API.

Now stop taking those screen shots in the same old way! Give something new to your readers, go take a Kwout!
