Not sure how much it helped the startups who went on to the stage but it did help a ton for folks who are in initial phase of building a product. We ask ourselves all those pg questions. Get answers.

Agree. Till now, I haven't seen a better screenshot tool than Skitch (mac-only). In the screenshots towards the end ( http://shutter-project.org/preview/screenshots/ ) there were plugins, effects etc which I generally find in GIMP and Phot
