I checked out GIFCam, looks like a nice option
Gyazo is pretty good though, it starts on a hot key, click twice to set bounding box, it starts recording and when it's done it immediately uploads to their cloud server and I have an URL to paste right away, it's very very quick
But I had to paste the video URL because the GIF URL had dropped too many frames to capture the actual error. It provides both URLs up front and you can just copy which one you want.
GIFCam gives you way more control while still being simple, and creating nice smooth, sharp and compact GIF animations, I'm very impressed. But it does require the extra step of uploading - plus it will hit your storage space instead, which may not be a big issue but always good to keep in mind. (Though I do hate coming across very old forum posts where all the externally hosted images have expired
