MixedInk: Online Collaborative Writing
From Web Worker Daily, 7 hours ago,
0 comments 
I take a cautious approach to collaborative writing. It’s not that I don’t enjoy collaborating, or want very much for it to work out. it’s just that, in practice, it often doesn’t. And I’m speaking from experience. Lots of writing workshops, some blogs, personal projects, etc. have taught me to be wary.
That said, I approached [...]

Are You Getting Satisfaction From GetSatisfaction.com?
From Web Worker Daily, 9 hours ago,
0 comments
When I first heard of GetSatisfaction, I started using it as a repository for my rants about bad customer service and software or Web apps issues for companies and their products. I liked the premise of GetSatisfaction - dialogue with other customers who may be experiencing similar issues and might have answers is a smart [...]

Fuze Outdoes Free Online Meeting Makers in Several Ways
From Web Worker Daily, 1 day ago,
0 comments
Free online meeting applications, such as Yugma, which I wrote about yesterday, have gotten very powerful in recent years, but they still don’t do all the cool things they could do. Few of them offer any sophisticated way to deal with video, especially high-definition video, and the devices you can use them on tend to [...]

WiZiQ: Teach and Be Taught
From Web Worker Daily, 1 day ago,
0 comments
I think it’s safe to say that many online workers would also describe themselves as lifelong learners. I know that personally, I’m always looking for new ways to learn, which is why I was so intrigued when I came across WiZiQ. The web service bills itself as an “Online Educational Platform for Teachers and Learners” [...]

iWork.com: Apple Takes a Bite of the Cloud
From Web Worker Daily, 1 day ago,
0 comments
With no Stevenote at this year’s Macworld, the world not only awaited Apple’s 2009 lineup with baited breath, but also the company’s inaugural Schillergram. Sadly, Apple’s announcements were widely accepted as being underwhelming, lacking the razzle-dazzle of previous Macworld keynotes; no iPods, Mac minis or iPhones, but a slew of application updates and the death [...]

A Note from the Editor
From Web Worker Daily, 1 day ago,

This morning, we published an article by a guest contributor. Approximately 30 minutes after the post was published, we were made aware that the freelance contributor had already submitted and published the exact same article on another site. As soon as the duplication was brought to our attention, we pulled the article.
We apologize to our [...]

Yugma Free Now Allows 20 Meeting Participants & More Additions
From Web Worker Daily, 2 days ago,
0 comments
Last month I wrote up the new version 4.0 of one of my favorite free online meeting applications: Yugma. This application is a favorite among many WebWorkerDaily readers and writers. Version 4.0 brings a lot of conveniences, but I still had a few things remaining on my wish list.
Now, Yugma has just announced several improvements [...]

Connectivity Issues From Rural Work Places - Part 1
From Web Worker Daily, 2 days ago,
0 comments
I recently relocated to Tok, Alaska from Anchorage. Being in Anchorage seemed far removed enough from the happenings in my industry, but I’ve carved out a good stream of social media and web work clients both statewide and nationally even from the Last Frontier. Now, however, I’m in the farflung reaches of the Last Frontier [...]

Contributing to the Public Domain: Why It Makes Sense
From Web Worker Daily, 2 days ago,
0 comments
Let’s leave aside ethical and moral considerations for the moment and think about what can be gained from contributing to the public domain. At first glance, there does not seem to be much solid ROI to be gained from giving away your work product, via something like the creative commons use license. It’s non-specific, and [...]

Get More Out of Facebook With My Web Portfolio
From Web Worker Daily, 2 days ago,
0 comments
Facebook is a great tool for web working. It makes networking simple, offers loads of opportunities for promotion, and it boasts a massive user base. Still, it’s not designed to foreground your work, and sometimes it can be a little difficult to draw attention to the things you want people to take notice of using [...]

Whostalkin Social Media Search Comes Out of Beta Testing
From Web Worker Daily, 3 days ago,
0 comments
If you do any blogging, reporting or electronic publishing focused on timely topics, take a look at Whostalkin, a social media and metasearch engine for blogs that has just come out of private beta testing. I’ve been experimenting with it today, and, for the most part, it does a good job of ferreting out conversational [...]

Should You Take in a Freelancing Partner?
From Web Worker Daily, 3 days ago,
0 comments
Freelancers take pride in their independence. But no matter how independent you think you are, you’ll need to work with a team and handle your difficult clients well. Sometimes, the work can be so overwhelming that you think you’re left with no choice except to find a partner to help you out.
Whether you’re getting someone [...]

My Web Working Resolution: Be More Green
From Web Worker Daily, 3 days ago,

I didn’t make many New Year’s resolutions this year. I cut out all those destined to fail, and instead focused on some that I have at least a little hope of achieving. A lot were work related, and one in particular applies primarily to web work. That resoultion? To be more green in my work [...]

Coworking Taking Root Across Northern England?
From Web Worker Daily, 3 days ago,
0 comments
The North of England seems to be a hotbed of coworking with not only major cities such as Manchester and Leeds hosting multiple, vibrant coworking communities, but smaller towns such as Huddersfield and Bradford now beginning to enter the field. Options are available for web workers and freelancers wishing to enjoy the flexibility and community [...]

Caffeine As Fuel For Web Workers

Photo by Reid Beels
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is put a kettle of water on the stove to make tea. Unlike Captain Picard’s preference for Earl Grey, I stick mostly to green tea to keep me caffeinated. I suspect that most of you have a similar ritual whether [...]
