Spear

Shift101 is a management consultancy that specializes in work, with a focus on organizations that are moving toward telecommunting, hoteling, coworking, and other forms of outworking. Spear is a prototype of a tool for modern digital nomads.  It uses the Twitter metapher of a status message, coupled with natural language processing and a dynamic user/location/project schema, to give distributed team members a single point tool to let other team members know where they are working and what they are working on in real time. The entire application eventually integrates into back office time and workforce management tools.
