Where Do You work? I Work Everywhere.

I can't take credit for the title, but I can certainly relate to the concept. For as long as I've been working, and that's a long time compared to some of you, my job has included significant travel.

When I first entered the workforce as an adult I spent 12-15 weeks straight on the road. This was before cell phones and email. (Yes, I may be considered older than 'sin' for admitting this fact.) We traveled by car, bus, truck and plane to both exotic and non-exotic destinations. Unfortunately these visits were always brief, some lasting less than 24 hours, and filled with work. But at the same time I was working in the entertainment industry during a very exciting time.

Today's nomad's have it dialed. We have cell phones, laptops, email and high-speed internet connections at hotels virtually every night. Some of us refuse to book a hotel without a fast connection in our rooms to avoid being 'off the net' for even one night.

That brings me to the headline from today's post - 'Where Do You work? I Work Everywhere.'

The story is posted on Dell's new DigitalNomads.com site, which seems to be a combination of a back-door, community oriented sales pitch and a site that answers a true calling for travelers. The real question in my mind: Is this the start of a new social networking community or just another flash in the marketing pan by Dell?

What's your take?
