Jellyquette – what’s that?
Coworking and Jelly
are relatively new ideas in the UK, and coworking advocate Lee Cottier and I have been doing our best to spread the word. One of the ideas we came up with (well, actually it was Andy, my partner, inspired by Mark Shaw’s Twitter clinics!) was to send out a series of tweets explaining what Jelly is, what happens there, how to get started and so on.
Jellyquette
(Jelly + etiquette) just popped into my mind as a way to describe these spoonfuls of Jelly info, and it made everyone smile, so it caught on. Here are the Jellyquette tweets so far and I will add more as we tweet them. To receive twice-daily dollops of Jelly wisdom, follow me @judyheminsley and/or Lee @CoWorkingWest
(If you’re not on Twitter, disregard the # symbol as you read. I would, however, strongly recommend you get an account and get started – not to acquire thousands of followers but to pick up the very latest information from thought leaders in your industry. After all, it’s where I discovered Jelly and coworking!)
