You summed it up pretty well. If users find they are using Jing to the degree it exceeds the monthly limits, offering up increases in account storage and bandwidth for a fee are necessary to offer this free to everyone. We know that Screencast.com is the ideal hosting solution for Jing because it's designed specifically for high-fidelity screen content and won't distort your media when being viewed. That being said, we also have learned that sharing has a broader definition. We have started work on extending our sharing options outside of just Screencast.com. With those additional sharing options, you'll be able to get the URL or embed code returned as well - making everything you described above dead simple to do with Jing. Again, thanks for the open feedback. Tony Dunckel Product Manager, The Jing Project Greg - appreciate the candid feedback. You summed it up pretty well.
