TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've never heard of StarDock either; a quick Google turns up a vendor
selling "skins" (interface mods) for Windows. Can't imagine how that
would be useful for anything in IT; wouldn't you want to use a
standard interface for your screenshots?
As for SnagIt, it's a great, inexpensive purpose-built tool for taking
screen captures, editing and annotating them; I consider it part of my
core toolset.
You can take screen captures with a variety of tools, including the
(completely free) PrtSc-and-paste-into-Windows-Paint method, but
SnagIt makes everything quicker and easier, in my opinion.
Your mileage may vary; as long as you've got something that gets the
job done and makes you happy, why switch?
