I agree that as soon as money changed hands the world changed, whether we like it or not. That's done. To other's point, so now what do we do? Nothing is not an option. As we've all seen, similar ideas keep popping up on the list over the past few years and we have to work them through as a community.
I'm not sure I understand Susan's reference "As Tony so eloquently reminded us, the beauty of coworking lies in our inability to create walls around it." I couldn't find the context for that statement/idea but at face value it scares the shit out of me. Sounds VERY protectionist. Can someone help me understand? As noted all before coworking is defined differently everywhere so keeping it to ourselves is not an option. It's in the wild, hence the executive suite folks interest, and we just have to deal and understand that coworking is not ours. The sooner we come up with a VERY general description (not definition) the better. If the movement continues to get press it will seem odd if every interview is COMPLETELY different. A story requires a common thread. What is ours? Ya gotta love chaos because eventually the dust settles and something new emerges. Cheers!
