I interpret this concept similar to AirBnB -- I have a spare room, office space/resources etc., that I can let out and have a supplementary income. The concept of organized commercial office sharing, that others have posted their experience with, has been around for more than a couple of decades. I don't think they fit into the concept of sharing my *own* extra office space/resources. IMO, this is the distinction one needs to understand and coworkable.com needs to emphasis on this aspect. If this is *not* the intent, then I agree that this post is borderline commercial. The establishment of trust factor between renter/rentee is fuzzy (at least to me). I had booked a room in Netherlands (through AirBnB); the difference between the pics on the web site and the reality was like day an night. I was lucky to get a partial refund from AirBnB. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
