Actually the names for telework are proliferating at a good clip. You can call us work-from-home employees, e-workers, iWorkers, teleworkers, telecommuters, web workers, mobile professionals, mobile workers, digital nomads, location-independent professionals, technomads, or workers 2.0.

Report: Google to end forced G integration, drastically cut division resources | Ars Technica: n short, Google seems to be backing away from the original Google strategy. The report states that Google will no longer be considered a product that competes with Facebook and Twitter, and that Google's mission to force Google into every product will end.

Google Hangouts will supposedly be moved to Android, and the Google photos team is "likely" to follow. "Basically, talent will be shifting away from the Google kingdom and towards Android as a platform," the report said. The strange part is that both of these teams create cross-platform products. So if the report is true, there will be a group inside the Android team making iOS and Web apps, which doesn't seem like the best fit.
