Writer Addy Dugdale (Associate Editor of Gizmodo) is bornrich.org's Cool Geek of this Week. In the profile, she describes a typical day at work at Gizmodo. It includes a healthy dose of Campfire.
Wake up sometime between around 8am and plug straight into my laptop. Eat breakfast, go through the feeds, find stories and write them up–in the case of breaking news, as quickly as I can. We have a web application called Campfire in which we post links to the stories we’re going to write about, so that there’s no confusion as to who is doing what. We also use campfire to crack jokes, hurl insults, flirt, flatter and threaten the other members of the team. It’s the closest we get to an “office” with the editors spread all over Europe and the US. At the moment we have two in Spain, one in Portugal, one in Chicago, four or so in NY, and three on the West Coast, so Campfire is indispensable.
As fans of Gizmodo, it's great to hear Campfire is an indispensable ally to the team. Keep up the good work guys!
