Collaboration
Snapzen is a browser tool that is used to collaborate with others about the information on any web page - right from your browser. Discuss information on web pages with your colleagues, friends or family. It is easy to collaborate with others because they see exactly what you see on the web pages. If you still use copy and paste, screenshot tools, email or chat to discuss web pages, Snapzen will show you a better way.
Snipshot has been acquired by Ansa instant messaging service. A browser bookmarklet that-- when used-- allows a user to select any of the images on the page to edit (basic color enhancement, cropping, etc.). Allows users to save the resulting image in a variety of formats, or email the image.
