odesk.com‘s Team page for live screen monitoring or time sheets.

2- During the final launch preperation’s, most of your volunteers or workers will be all around the place, doing their own set of individual tasks. You can keep them all in the loop by sending microblog messages to their cellphones using through an instant messenger using Kwippy.com
