Did you get a chance to watch the videos from SXSW on the LifeSize Communications facebook page? Here's a link to the Facebook page: http://bit.ly/a2Jm0R The controversial one with Gary Swart that Tony brought up can be found here: http://bit.ly/c6taQG Another one of the panels that I recorded was on "remote employees" or "remote workers," which seems a better term for what Swart was attempting to describe. With HD video communications, we aim to imitate the face-to-face experience. I could see THAT maybe allowing a remote worker to feel more like they are "co-working," but the functionality of oDesk definitely does not seem to replace in-the-same- room communication AT ALL enough to be truly called "co-working." I haven't ever checked out a co-working space, but all the discussions I've been witnessing lately makes me really want to go!
