So, you actually propose something like that:

- you have in image a "snapshoter", which you fire and it will grab some 
window or entire image.

- shot will be immediatelly sent via HTTP to your personal gallery of 
screenshots on http://www.squeak.org/Screenshots/Jason ,

Ok, I a bit extended your idea but doesn't sound nice? And it isn't so 
hard to achieve. All I don't know is how to shot windows or a whole image.
