So I missed the origin of today's cow orking references, after enforced ambient-only Twitter but this seems to be it! (Have been considering quitting Twitter feeds for a while, and limiting myself to purely ambient Twitter, but see what happens when you miss issues of vital importance!) I am claiming ownership of the birth of the phrase 'cow orking', at least in relation to Brum cow orking, as that was all I saw when the prospect of coworking was first raised a few months ago. And if I knew how to find my original tweet, I'd prove it! I'm not normally precious about my ideas, but obviously cow orking is a biggie ;) I knew orking existed, but only because I'd seen orking kitten and puppy calendars on the stall in the Bullring! Oh alright then, I suppose that someone (everyone!) _could_ have experienced the same misreading, so this one's on me. After all it is for the good of human- and cow-kind. Happy cow orking folks ;) While normally I indulge in the full-blown Twitter experience, checking on my feeds to see what I’ve missed, I’ve been busy for the past few days and my feeds got full about 2 days ago.
