A Tool I Don't Want

Today I received several offers for a free pdf
e-book called "Screengrab." This e-book comes
in a zip file so you get more than just thee-book.

You get:
  1. The e-book with instructions on where to
    get the tool and instructions on its use.
  2. You get a set of branding instructions.
  3. You get a brander.


Now here's the scoop on what's contained in
the 4 page e-book:

  1. A title page you can brand with your name
    and url
  2. A coupon page for "Underground Interviews"
    that you can brand with your affiliate link
  3. 2 pages of instructions on where to get the
    tool and how to use it


This would be a great viral freebie if it was a
quality product, however, what you don't get
is any information on how to use the pages you
can grab or how to edit them.


So if you're into capturing entire web pages
and using them, this tool will work for you
and you can give it away. But if you are
looking for a tool that will do more than
create an image file of a web page, don't
waste your time.


There is a free tool that will do everything
Screengrab can do and a lot more.


The tool is called Irfanview and you can get
it free at:


http://www.download.com.

Just click the "Design and Photo" menu item
and it will be in the top few tools listed.
(It was number 2 the last time I checked.)

Now I could have turned this into a sales
pitch for the product where I discovered
Irfanview but didn't because this information
is too important for you to blow off as
"just another sales pitch."
