The problem with the workstreaming concept is that it obliterates one of the benefits of working remotely. I believe some of us are drawn to remote work precisely because we are burst workers (a concept also articulated in this blog.) Those of us who hyperfocus for short periods of time and take more downtime throughout the day will a) seem as if we’re “goofing off” when we step out of the stream and b) be forced to interrupt our productive flow to make gestures of “engagement.”

Yup this is my work and home setup since October. Works well – transparency and a good level of privacy

My recipe is
* Soup.io for the lifestreamblog;
* Twitter or Zooomr for the updates
* Zooomr or Gallery2 for the images
* gallery2 or Youtube for the vids
* Rememberthemilk via Yahoo pipes for completed tasks
*Skype and messengers through Pidgin

MS free since 2003

Great post Anne. I work with a team based in several remote, international locations. Some are using Twitter and we’re using Basecamp and Skype extensively.

A shared chat group in Skype works really well if you’re interested in staying connected and less interested in publishing and saving a log of your work.

Heading over to Amazon to order Connect!:)

I’d love to use Twitter for this, but the rest of my team is not yet drinkin’ the kool aid. We go a less “immediate” route, and everyone sends out daily emails of what they’ll be doing that day and what got accomplished yesterday. It’s actually a HUGE help since we’re all remote.

LOL @Twitter,
I’ll stick with programs like dotproject & exchange calendars / CRMs for this sort of application / tracking.
