quick update and a little teaser :-)
my team has been coding all this weekend and for the past couple weeks, and beta 1 of the site is close to completion. i'll start a new thread in the coming weeks to introduce and get feedback on the site after it launches. for now though, i want to offer the gist of the first two problems i'm tackling with this site -- both are informational in nature and must be tackled first before moving on to more tools. this first beta serves a complimentary role to the google groups, blogs, and websites that space owners and everyday coworkers already have. function 1 is a hub of information on individual spaces, function 2 is aggregation of owner and member coworker activity from the web (providing an informational representation of the activity of the space). before i give you the teaser, i want to share a couple tidbits regarding the name of the site and the launch pad for my ideas. some of my initial ideas for this kind of site came from start-up weekend chapel hill from last year. i did not participate in the weekend, but had a long discussion with someone who did, and subsequently acquired the domain from the group, re-branded, and started building out some ideas. this new app differs from the original start-up weekend idea (i believe the original idea was to build an app to allow any owner of office space -- law firms, start-ups, corporations, etc -- to post and sell their unused office space). even though i've repurposed the name/ brand, i owe those guys a LOT for coming up with a great name and idea, and I want to make sure that they are given proper credit. if any members of that weekend (i'm pretty sure Brian from Carrboro Creative Coworking was there) are reading this, thanks!! (and please send me a message, i'd love to chat) so here's the teaser ;-) enjoy... http://www.workperch.com On Nov 21, 4:13 pm, Jeremy <[email protected]> wrote: > Tony, I'll be sharing lots of specifics very soon.
