Mathew Ingram wrote an interesting article on GigaOM titled "The Human Cloud and the Future of Work"
It is partly about tools like Skype, Jive Software, Yammer, and Rypple that make personal interaction easier online. It is also about the fact that working in new and different ways changes our lives.
Built upon a cloud of web-enabled infrastructute, the human cloud is a new term for the new way we work. Companies have dispersed teams that are located in different geographic locations. In this way, companies are able to get the best talent at the lowest cost.
Term: "crowdsourcing"
Many people outsource themselves and their skills through services like Elance or ODesk.
GigaOM is holding a cenference on the subject of the Human Cloud called "Net:Work" -> this event will be streamed live!
