Ross Dawson / @rossdawson : Interesting review of three virtual office companies - Branch, Gather and Huddle - that provide simple spaces for remote interaction, imagining valuations potentially in the trillions https://techcrunch.com/... https://twitter.com/... Azeem Azhar / @azeem : also are they just reusing old startup names now? https://twitter.com/... Dror Poleg / @drorpoleg : “The future of transportation is no transportation.” Ex Uber engineer & others are building your next HQ, on the cloud. https://techcrunch.com/... Congrats @Altimor Zak Kukoff / @zck : Keeping an eye on this... 👀 Huddle has become my favorite way to cowork and host meetings https://twitter.com/... @joshelman : The idea of walking out of a meeting with someone and saying bye feels much more human than just clicking “leave meeting”. Let alone just having a sense of shared presence when you are working alone in your home. This is a necessary skeuomorphic transition. It will evolve. https://twitter.com/...
