Chris Busse recently chimed in with an interesting use of Campfire over at Signal vs. Noise. He prints out screens, marks them up with a Sharpie, and scans them in a way that makes it a snap to get the resulting .png file into Campfire.
Partly because of my love of putting up sketches in Campfire (sometimes to the ire of my co-workers when I go Sharpie-crazy), I recently got an HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 All-in-one device which has a scanner with an Auto Document Feeder.I take a piece of paper out of the printer and sketch, or mark up a print out of a design with a Sharpie and run it back through the ADF . I have the HP utilities set to not show any dialogs or prompts, and the image is scanned immediately to a specific directory as a 75dpi PNG , which I can post right up in Campfire with a very short elapsed turnaround time.
37signals uses Campfire to post sketches and share designs too. You can see how we do it in Behind the scenes at 37signals: Design [Signal vs. Noise].
Do you use a 37signals product in an interesting or noteworthy way? Let us know.
