Thank you very much for the information I really appreciate it!!

i love this blog!!!!!

My friend and I have started our own small website and internet marketing the site to attract some visitors to buy products from our clients. This can really help make good money.

Thanks for posting such vital information. I am new to the blogging scene. Any and all pointers are helpful.

Teleworking also supports one of Cisco's themes: life-work balance (as well as frugality). Cisco is the parent company of WebEx and has made collaboration a strategic initiative.

A Cisco blogpost about Virtual Worlds http://blogs.cisco.com/virtualworlds/comments/virtual_news/

said that avatars improve interactions (aka collaboration). I know that I build my avatars to manage the assumptions of people behind their avatars. Will WebEx add to their long and complex product roadmap, avatars?

Remember that song: "My baby takes the morning train. He works from 9 to 5 and then he takes the train back home again…”

Thank goodness work isn’t like that anymore!

Work is not a place. It’s not time bound. It is all about mobility and connectedness, anywhere on the globe.

I’m a big advocate of teleworking as a new business model for sustainability and economic productivity. The use of flexible working arrangements and telecommuting provide opportunities for increasing participation of women in the workforce, governments growing productivity and communities reducing their carbon footprint as fewer cars hit the road and large buildings burn lights and air conditioning plants.

Telework Australia says that having a workforce that works at least partly at home can reduce costs of heating, air-conditioning, car parks and lighting by 17 per cent of salary costs. And telework reduces avoidable staff turnover by over 20 percent, while managers report that employees are up to 40 percent more productive.
