Links of the Week
Welcome to Office Nomads’ first Links of the Week post. We’ll plan on putting these up on Fridays. They’ll include a collection of links from around the Web (where else would they come from?) that we found interesting but didn’t write a full post about or other items we feel you should notice.
- From Mbites comes a post on coworking flash-mob style. We love the concept because it brings folks to work together in a communal setting but gives it a catch-as-catch-can quality that appeals to our wild side. Anyone who wants to try and flash-mob a work day here at ON is more than welcome!
- That CNNMoney article continues to bring us some wonderful attention. This time from the Small Biz Resources Blog where Gayle Kesten notes that while freelancers are happy to see the kids back in school after the holidays because of the silence it brings to home offices, that silence quickly becomes deafening. Coworking to the rescue!
- Jacob decided that along with starting the coolest coworking space in Seattle, he’d try and earn some life points for doing it too. Go vote for him at RealityAllStarz.com. Let us know in the comments if you’ve got a project you want points for too.
- Blog pimpin’. It’s gotta be done or no one is ever going to know about the joy of Office Nomads’ blog. So we added the blog to Technorati. You should go there and give us a little boost. We’ll throw a vote right back at ya if you ask us to.
- Finally this week, we found a great list of useful web apps over on Lifehacker we decided to share. Hopefully something on this list will make your days go a bit more smoothly.
That’s it for this week. Hope you had a great and productive week. Enjoy the weekend!

Dave Schappell:
Continued kudos to the folks at OfficeNomads — and, I mean it this time, I really can’t wait to stop by and check out the digs! By the way, are you renting the space out for after-hours events yet? I know that was in your early plans, but I’m not sure if that’s part of the operations — would be great to start hosting some of the SeattleTechStartup gatherings (they’re currently held at the Capitol Hill Library branch) — would be a great audience for you to start aligning with!
Hope all’s going great, Jacob!
