[Coworking] Watch this today
Do yourself a favor and watch these two videos ASAP: 5 minutes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NugRZGDbPFU 20 minutes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0af00UcTO-c Steven Johnson explains, quite succinctly and with historic reference, a lot of the theses we've built Indy Hall upon over the last 3+ years and generally why environments like coworking spaces and coworking communities are such powerful engines for true innovation. The ADD version: It's not about any one individual "idea" or moment, or even incentivizing collaboration, but instead about *creating opportunities* for smaller, half-baked ideas to bump into each other and serendipitously realize that they are each others' missing pieces. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

Sweet! And to think I just converted a bunch of old frequent flier miles into magazine subscriptions and Inc is one of them. Can't wait to receive my copy...and to visit New Work City and see what ten bucks on Kickstarter can do for coworking. :) Congrats Tony!

Re: [Coworking] Question re: cell phones and ringers
Alex, Definitely appreciate the crowdsourcing for the best solution tip. We have a set of "community norms" we ask people to learn an out of resepct for fellow members agree to follow - all common sense things we learned in kindergarten. This feels much better than having a list of arbitrary "rules" that someone is then in charge of enforcing. The last thing I ever want to be equated with as a community manager is a traffic cop. UGH!

Re: [Coworking] Watch this today
Awesome, Alex! Thanks to share! This movie reminds me a documentary that I've watched some months ago, in the History Channel. That documentary was about the newspaper's history. How, why and where it was created. Long time ago, influent people went to cafeterias to talk to each other. In that time, the news was spread mouth to mouth. Then, they felt that was necessary to make something better: the first newspaper was created.
