#NWFHD map launched to promote flexible working
It’s the fourth annual National Work From Home Day, so I’m sat here on my laptop doing just that. The day is part of Work Wise Week, which is an initiative led by the TUC, CBI and British Chambers of Commerce to promote smarter working practices.
To support the day, I have developed a Google Maps mashup for Speed that uses Twitter to allow home workers to display their location. To take part you have to send a tweet containing #NWFHD and the first half of your postcode ie: “#NWFHD WC2H”. The site will then automatically update every 30 seconds throughout the day, displaying the location of Twitter users working from home.
