			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>While I knew that <a href="http://asides.gigaom.com/2006/09/04/introducing-webworkerdaily/">the launch of this site</a> wouldn&#8217;t exactly go unnoticed, even I was surprised when so many of the blogs that I read daily considered it noteworthy.  And in chasing down <a href="http://technorati.com/search/webworkerdaily.com">inbound links</a> using Technorati, I found lots of bloggers discussing relevant topics to add to my must-read-feeds folder and Web Worker Daily&#8217;s blogroll.  You can find our thanks, exclamations of joy and witty comebacks to playful ribbing by friends around the blogosphere after the jump.</p>
<p>The first site to <a href="http://www.charterstreet.com/2006/02/going_bedouin.html">elucidate the concept of &#8216;going bedouin,&#8217;</a> Charter Street, brought their deep understanding to bear, explaining the reasons a mobile workforce changes business paradigms, in language that everyone from freelance webmonkeys to seasoned venture capitalists can understand. [<a href="http://www.charterstreet.com/2006/09/web_worker_dail.html">Charter Street</a>]</p>
<p>The ever-snarky Valleywag reminded me, in no uncertain terms, that I overuse the term &#8216;bedouin.&#8217;  After consulting my thesaurus and brainstorming, I came up with nomads, cowboys, vagrants, hobos, hunter-gatherers, transients, tourists and backpackers as good substitutes to avoid the journalistic style bugaboo known as &#8216;mirror words.&#8217; [<a href="http://www.valleywag.com/tech/launches/gigaoms-webworkerdaily-for-the-digital-nomad-who-has-everything-but-a-place-to-call-work-198400.php">Valleywag</a>]</p>
<p>Ever gracious, TechCrunch&#8217;s Michael Arrington took a moment from his own busy schedule of blog empire building to offer enthusiastic support.  He even likes our Communist-kitsch logo &#8212; coming from a serial entrepreneur like him, that&#8217;s certainly reassuring. [<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/09/04/webworkerdaily-for-the-web-20-worker/">TechCrunch</a>]</p>
<p>Silicon Valley veteran Tom Foremski understands what&#8217;s going on, having given a name to rootless, wandering web workers last year &#8212; &#8220;Nomadig people.&#8221;  We can&#8217;t wait for the &#8216;zine he promises will focus on the art and culture of our growing tribe. [<a href="http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/mt/archives/2006/09/nomadig_or_bedo.php">Silicon Valley Watcher</a>]</p>
<p>Wired News&#8217; Michael Calore wanted answers to some of his questions about our plans, goals and community we hope to serve with Web Worker Daily.  I tried desperately to follow Om&#8217;s instructions and not say anything &#8216;controversial.&#8217; [<a href="http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/index.blog?entry_id=1552624">Monkey Bites</a>]</p>
<p>While you&#8217;d be hard pressed to figure it out at first glance, Web Worker Daily is powered by Matt Mullenweg&#8217;s WordPress.com &#8212; one of the first in what should become a series of high-profile, custom-designed publishing ventures they&#8217;ll be supporting in the future. [<a href="http://photomatt.net/2006/09/04/webworkerdaily/">Photo Matt</a>]</p>
<p>Here in the Bay Area, every time I get together with fellow survivors of the dot-bomb we inevitably end up trading war stories, cynical jokes and pessimistic projections.  Rick Abruzzo at Supr.c.ilio.us doesn&#8217;t spare the snark, and deconstructs the pre-Perestroika Soviet symbolism that we&#8217;ve co-opted for our devious, capitalist purposes. [<a href="http://supr.c.ilio.us/blog/2006/09/05/office-less-office-is-back/">Supr.c.ilio.us</a>]</p>
<p>A man who&#8217;s mastered connectivity on the go, and regularly packs his EVDO-enabled WiFi router to selflessly share mobile wireless connectivity wherever he is, we&#8217;re most proud of the mention from Scott Beale of Laughing Squid &#8212; an arbiter of geek cool since before geeks were cool.  [<a href="http://laughingsquid.com/2006/09/05/web-worker-daily/">Laughing Squid</a>]</p>
<p>Sadly, there&#8217;s not enough room to thank <a href="http://technorati.com/search/webworkerdaily.com">everyone who linked to us</a> and offered kind words &#8212; including those who <a href="http://french20.ovh.org/index.php/2006/09/bienvenue-web-worker-daily/">blogged</a> in <a href="http://profiblog.textpattern.sk/clanky/kvalita-vas-oddeli-od-konkurencie">foreign</a> <a href="http://intaneti.wordpress.com/2006/09/05/ny-blog-den-virtuelle-arbejder/">languages</a> I barely understand, if at all.  To cover as many bases as possible:  Thank you, gracias, toda, merci, sukran, grazie, xie xie, danke, asante, spahseebah and arigato.  And please, don&#8217;t be a stranger, <a href="mailto:jacksonwest@gmail.com">get in touch</a>! </p>
