The Detroit newsletter slash website Metromode reports that SRT opens Ann Arbor office, more than triples its employees. Although, it looks as though it was a reprinted press release, the notion of third spaces is one that I’m pursuing with coworking meetups at our lovely New Orleans coffee houses.

Got a trackback from Matt Hampel on a post about the New Orleans Wiki. He is one of the keepers of the ArborWiki. It was from an automatic posting of his del.icoi.us bookmarks. It struck me as an easy way to reach out to new people. An easy way to reward people for getting my attention. As if my attention was not reward enough already.

TeleTwitter and Twitteroo come recommended by RevMark. Sally Tamarkin’s friend recommends Tweetr. Laura Fisher recommends TwitBox. A list of Twitter clients is available at the Apps page of the Twitter Fan Wiki. Update: For Mac I recommend Twitterific which blends in with my desktop beautifully and takes advantage of Growl if it is installed.

Coshirking: A coffee break lasting more than one hour where local industry gossip is exchanged over open laptops. Coined by William Tozer.

From a suggestion by Merlin Mann in Reviving a moribund project with Doodle, I’m using doodle.ch to schedule conference calls. It strikes me as a good tool for scheduling even one on one meetings. It is presents a nice grid from which a people can select a time to meet. Much easier than emailing back and forth.

Dave Coustan has a new website called Extraface.

For the person who reverts. It has become my first action of the day, but afterwards the direction of the day is lost. It muddles the clear thoughts of the early morning. This is probably why I have deep seated distaste for the New Orleans Wiki. These sentences right here. Barely able to punch them out. It sets the day on a trajectory is fussing with things. Sorting email. Sorting files. It is productivity poison.
