Who says LinkedIn doesn’t lead to publicity? I would probably never have known about The Boardroom Executive Suites latest executive office suites project if Nathan Jansch, the president of the serviced office company, hadn’t reached out through LinkedIn to give me a heads up on the new facility.
So here’s the deal: The Boardroom Executive Suites signed an agreement to open a new executive suite business center at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and I-25. This makes serviced office facility number two for Boardroom. (The company also has a location at 3773 Cherry Creek Drive in Denver.)
The new center will be located on the 7th floor of the Denver CenterPoint I office building at 3900 E. Mexico Avenue. With 10,300 square feet of office space, the executive suites project will feature 25 individual offices, four 500-square-foot office suites, two conference rooms, advanced VoIP telecommunications, on-demand administrative services, and six virtual office plans. The company also offers meeting rooms and virtual offices.

Abbey Business Centres just inked a high profile serviced office deal. The British executive suites company is leasing 1,250 square feet of office space at the iconic Gherkin building to Sky News for two years.
Sky News will use the office space as a studio to air “Jeff Randall Live,” the broadcaster’s flagship business program. Julie Calder, managing director at Abbey Business Centers, explains that Sky News’ non-traditional use of serviced office space is a prime illustration of just how flexible business centers can be in the quest to provide commercial solutions.
“Sky News was particularly impressed by The Gherkin itself and the view from its base on the 15th floor. I think this gives out a message that there is a place for the serviced office package within iconic structures,” Calder says. “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Sky News and hope to regularly bump into celebrities from the world of business.”

The Internet is gaining momentum among news consumers — but 92 percent of Americans use multiple platforms to get their daily fix of news, sports and weather. So says a new survey by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
The survey found the Internet is the third most popular news platform, behind local and national television news and ahead of national print newspapers, local print newspapers, and radio. Reading news online fits into a broad pattern of news consumption by Americans, the survey reported, with 59 percent getting news from a combination of online and off-line sources on a typical day.
“People are not replacing traditional media sources with the Internet — at least not right now,” said Kristin Purcell, an associate director for research at the Pew project. “The Internet is just another platform they turn to. People use the combination of platforms that’s available and convenient for them.”

Freescale Semiconductor on Monday announced a new processor that could help make the next generation of e-readers more affordable. Freescale’s i.MX508 applications processor relies on ARM Cortex-A8 technology and a hardware-based display controller from E Ink to drive costs down.
With the ARM core running at 800 MHz, the i.MX508 provides twice the rendering speed of Freescale’s last round of e-reader processors. That means faster page turns for consumers, more speed for value-added applications, and advanced touch solutions for manufacturers.
“DisplaySearch forecasts that the worldwide e-book/e-reader device shipment will triple that of 2009, increasing to over 14 million units in 2010,” said Dr. Jennifer Colegrove, director of display technologies at DisplaySearch. “Key to this growth will be improving the quality of the digital reading experience while simultaneously making it affordable. The results coming from the Freescale and E Ink collaboration are very encouraging.”
