somewhere along the way I picked up the habit of randomly capitalizing words in my emails. Engineer and Presentation are examples.

#LabVIEW FTW ... if you are an engineer or programmer you need to watch this. http://ni.com/labview/users/control/ ... the first video.

Just cancelled dish network. It was surprisingly painless. Going with a hulu/netflix combo.

This is the problem I am addressing. We share code on forums, FTP, email, dropbox, NI forums, dev zone ... etc. Between all of those places I now have lost my snippets of code that I consider useful. This tool would obviously not be for everyone as mentioned earlier where a couple Engineers just don't use snippets that much. This is also a prototype ... it could be expanded to host different types of files all pertaining to LabVIEW. Snippets are easy to create, and it is very easy to display an image on a web site so it was a natural choice. And they are fast and easy to share. I have many more features that I would love to implement to make the site more useful and feel like a central place to organize and share snippets with others. You make many good points though.

Absolutely, this is just a prototype but the site certainly could support POST methods from outside sources.

Chrome, Firefox and Safari treats images differently than IE. When you drag to the block diagram you will just get a URL where IE will let you drag the raw image data from the browser. This is not a limitation of the snippet that can be fixed (that I'm aware of) so the work around is to drag to the desktop then the block diagram. I have confirmed this behavior in chrome, safari and firefox running windows 7. Thanks for the feedback. Love vishots.com BTW.

These are fantastic responses. Thank you all for the information. The reason I ask is because I was creating a snippet the other day and thought it would be neat to have a site dedicated to organizing, storing and sharing snippets. I created a quick prototype: VI Snippets Any interest in such a tool? What if there was integration with LabVIEW to save and upload to a site like this? It is based on gist.github.com ... a popular site for sharing "snippets" of text based code. Thanks for the feedback. If there is enough interest then I'll keep developing it and see where it goes. Disclaimer: This site is not currently affiliated with NI and not every feature works (like sharing, favoriting or public profiles).
