It is great to see a company get a lot of money, then put it to really smart / great use.

I love Skitch. It is one of the apps I use throughout the day in my normal workflow. It is just too easy to grab a screenshot, add a big red arrow pointing to the problem and then email that image. I love it.

I'm excited to see Evernote integration (another app I use every day).

Skitch is one of those products that only does a few things, but does them extremely well. When you experience taking a screenshoting, annotating it, resizing it, and then dragging it into an email to send to someone, it hurts having to "click to upload an image" ever again.

Wow seriously psyched about Skitch and Evernote. These are two tools that are completely ingrained in my daily workflow. Glad to see a great exit for the Skitch team!

Big fan of skitch, hope they dont kill it! Evernote is getting bloated...

Anybody know the payment terms were for the buyout? I haven't found it anywhere.

Great news for Skitch and great news its becoming free.

I remember the trial, and how much easier it made filing bugs on my website for small UI tweaks and such. At the time, owing to the fact I'm cheap, I ended up switched to Jing, which was multiplatform and free, but I consider something of Skitch's ilk necessary for dealing with bug reporting of UI issues.

I'm a huge fan of skitch. I hope they continue to support the product.

Has the android application been published yet ? I can't seem to find in on market.android.com yet. If not is there a published release date ?
