I tweet this all the time: #coworking = #telecommuting = #telework. Maybe someday it will sink in!
See my blog entries on Telecommuting, Coworking here: http://altamontcowork.com/blog/cool-links/telecommuting/ And my most recent rant: http://altamontcowork.com/blog/2010/07/19/what-is-coworking/ We need to get people off the roads! It does not seem to be working...commuters commute because their OFB's think "telecommuting" = "goofing off". Until that stigma goes away the commuters will be forced follow the red lights ahead of them....then 2 hours later, sit in a cubicle and do EXACTLY the same work they could have started 2 hours before closer to home. It is FRUSTRATING, that so many employers cannot see the light.....and I've been in this for over 20 years now.... Coworking may help...it is an "office". But with thousands of commuters passing by everyday....not one is a member. And in our case we have standards based videoconferencing so the telecommuter / coworker can been seen, attend meetings, etc etc. Sorry for the rant....I feel better?
