Dell just launched a pretty cool initiative called Digital Nomads. The idea is to create a content driven site that is focused on the growing numbers of people working and playing in a digital, no four walls around me, kind of way.
The content certainly features the occasional suggestion that a Dell laptop is the tool of choice for today’s digital nomad, but it’s shaping up to be so much more than that. In the spirit of full disclosure I’m providing content for the site as is Shel Holz and Phil Torrone of MakeBlog - a couple of pretty smart guys.
The site features tools and tips - I wrote this week about one of my new favorites, a Technology Enabled Jacket from SCOTTEVEST - basically a jacket with all kinds of pockets and a system for wiring things like my headphones, but then somehow still look cool.

I AM a Digital Nomad! I joined this new online community. I hope it will be a user driven community and not a DELL driven adventure.
Ok, I like the jacket, I need one, it is cool! John will you be wearing one to Indiana!
Ok, now about the site. Does anyone know what platform it was built on? And are these open content sites going to replace blogging?
@Joe Yes I’ll be wearing it to Indiana - the site is a Wordpress blog - I don’t think they will replace mostly just amplify and filter.
Interesting. As I was reading your post, I was thinking about how big Dell is and in the back of my mind was cursing them out a little for being the juggernaught. Then I looked down and my reliable laptop and remembered I am typing away on my beloved Inspiron. Oops. Dell is good.

Smart packaging, but in reality nothing really new. The space has been well covered, but has been mostly a small niche. I think social and economic shifts are shedding light on the subject.
I don’t believe I would want to promote the ped-logo, but will probably be a frequent visitor to read and comment.
Unfortunately, the fact that Dell launched the site should not make it news.
