I keep hearing this phrase "follow the moon" or "follow the sun".
What does it mean in a business or technology context? An example
being "follow the moon scheduling" of business applications.

In the modern interconnected world of global business wheeling and
dealing, there is a need to be aware of different time zones, and the
ebb and flow of business activities as the day begins or ends in each
time zone.

This has led to reference to "following the sun" as a means of
scheduling activities to occur as business starts up their day in
different zones.

Conversely, "following the moon" means scheduling around nighttime
activities as businesses close up shop.

You can see an example of this in the Follow the Sun HelpDesk proposal:

I always thought "follow the sun" meant to keep moving around to stay
in warm, sunny climates, avoiding winter.
Or to go West, thus following the sun. And if it's night time following the moon.
Me, I am following soccer, not long now (about 5 minutes) until

"live" it is though.

No kidding he expects a lot. I was at a festival over the weekend,

India is situated 5 hours ahead of UK , 10 hours ahead of New York and
13 hours ahead of Los Angeles . US and UK companies can claim

day time in India and agents in India can respond to emails during
Indian business hours. This is known as follow the sun and vice versa
is follow the moon
