Merge E-Work, Telework, and Telecommuting

E-Work, Telework, and Telecommuting must be merged together. While the articles claim certain subtle differences, this is a natural result of the evolution of the notion, which is basically the same. mikka (t) 17:20, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but merge to which article? Telecommuting seems to be the richest. --Alvin-cs | Talk 22:00, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

"Telecommuting" may be the richest existing article, but the term is less accurate than "Telework." "Telecommuting" is a term that comes out of reference to the current work paradigm, that of traveling through physical space to a workplace. Since work is done increasingly in virtual space, we should not rely on the previous paradigm's language to form terms for the new one. I suggest switching the title of this article to "Telework."

Query

How many Americans telecommute today? It be nice if the article quoted some statistics. JeffBurdges 14:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Productivity

The article mentions productivity several times. Where is the doumentation on that? Google telecommuting productivity and compare the argumentation in several of the references, starting from the top, and draw your own conclusions.Westfalr3 05:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge Telecommuter

Hi, just noticed that Telecommuter is a similar page. Could someone remove it and link it to Telecommuting page? --62.78.252.62 07:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Merge with Nomad workers

Nomad Workers are just a variant of teleworkers. They just happen to move around and travel while using telecommunications to do their job from wherever they happen to be. -- Whpq 18:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The Nomad Workers article looks like a candidate for deletion to me, rather than merging, but I guess it amounts to the same thing. Seems to me this is already covered under 'Distributed work' in this article--Michig 19:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

You are quite possibly right. For me, there doesn't look like a lot of material that could be merged, but I wanted alternate opinions. -- Whpq 20:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

More merging?

Financial Times UK (September 8, 1993) Survey of Software at Work - Autumn 1993 (5): Teleworking buzzwords lists many Telecommuting buzzwords. Please look over the articles in Category:Telecommuting to see whether any should be merged into this article. Thanks. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:23, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Telecommuting Options

Add a reference to IvanAnywhere - a telecommuting robot - to Current Trends or Technology. A programmer is using a remote-controlled robot with webcam, mirophone, speakers and a screen to telecommute to work 800 miles away from home.

eDeskOnline

eDeskOnline is basically an online operating system but this site also can be considered as a telecommuting tool as it helps workers to access their file from anywhere they want all they need is a internet enabled computer or laptop through with they can work seamlessly and productively, The burden of carrying USB drives or laptops are things of past as this site works on cloud computing where all your data is stored online on servers as secure as your lockers.

WorkHomeYou.com

WHY magazine is an online publication dedicated to the telecommuting worker. It was started in May of 2007. It features no advertising, but has a single sponsor in each issue. It is bi-monthly. I think it would be a great addition to this page. There are so few UNBIASED websites out there. Thank you for your time. Close2UClose2U (talk) 01:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
