At first I was really put off by auto-uploading screenshots, but I actually think it's a pretty solid idea.

I'm tempted to suggest a way for you to pop up a chat window to your employee, what do you think of that?

Hi there, thanks for the comment.

Auto-uploaded screenshots aren't for everyone, its something that definitely has to be negotiated with the employee of course.

Our competitor oDesk (an outsourcing portal) offers similar software. They offer a chat system within the client (we could too). Its not a priority at the moment because it would probably only add marginal value; employees already communicate with their bosses through skype, MSN, email, etc.
