I don't disagree that meeting up in person is important to people in the bursty economy. It fits in rather nicely to say that we do it in "bursts" rather than all the time.
The face time issue is a different one. Face time means the requirement that you show your face during standard working hours, thus displaying your commitment to the job and your efforts to get work done. In burst mode, there are other ways to measure what's getting done.
Nice table format. I like that!

Great distinction between the two approaches.
I think the other way to differentiate is that bysiness is about blindly implementing tactics with no regard for the overall strategy. "We do this wherever it takes us."
Burstyness is about strategy, that is, "We do anything in any way to get there."

I'm not sure if there is a correlation between face time and commitment to getting things done.
And I think it's easy to recognise that "busyness" based firms have a hard time to attract talented people. They want to invest their lives in great firms, not labour camps.
