A very interesting thing went out today. Piecing things together it would appear that Mr Efron has made an iPhone app based on the PariSOMA google doc and then sent this announcement in a BCC to all the emails included in that document. The name choice is particularly interesting to us. I also take note of the fact that Map Muse's website is filled with google ads suggesting these guys are trying to make a buck any way they can. Does anyone know more about what is going on here? Has anyone talked with these folks or had any contact with them before today?

Let’s face it: the corporate office is quickly turning into a thing of the past. As wireless connectivity becomes as ubiquitous as electricity, the modern worker is left with the options of either telecommuting from home or wandering from coffee shop to coffee shop, hoping to stumble upon a quiet workspace with a reliable internet connection. Office Nomad takes the uncertainty out your search, ensuring that your valuable time is spent working and not looking for somewhere to work. Featuring over 2,300 short-term office rentals, business centers, and coworking spaces around the globe, this app is your one-stop guide to finding somewhere to work wherever you are, when you need it. Office Nomad is location-based, so users can view nearby workspaces on the go, as well as reserve select offices through in-app links. Realtors, Business Centers, and Coworking Spaces can also submit new offices as they become available. It’s a simple idea, but we think it has a good chance to catch on with mobile workers in need of a reliable workspace at the drop of a hat. MapMuse would like to offer each of you a free download of Office Nomad with the hope that you’ll review your listing for accuracy. You can edit contact details, rates, etc. by hitting “Update or correct information.” If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad and would like to give the app a spin, let me know and I’ll send over a promo code. I’m also happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks, and we hope you enjoy the app. Keep in mind that we have a limited number of promo codes to give out, so the sooner you get back to me the better your chances of getting one.
