Will moofing catch on?

In the unofficial contest for the silliest word to describe mobile working, I think “moofing” ranks pretty high. Moofing, which stands for "mobile out of office" was coined by James McCarthy, a business manager with Microsoft's UK mobile software team. I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that “moofing” sounds way too much like “goofing” to be a good name for the kind of work many of us do.

You can learn more about moofing and McCarthy’s views on next generation working, by checking out his blog, moof.mobi. In addition to blog comments, there are some resources such as the Rough guide to moofing.
