[Coworking] CoLoft is now open :)

Hey everyone, Just wanted to update you all that the CoLoft officially opened this past Monday in Santa Monica, CA. We are really excited about this, and already have a handful of people coworking away :) Feel free to take a look at our site and the pictures, and let us know what you guys think!

Re: [Coworking] coworking.com: the next generation

Without having even having a clear vision of what the website can/should do, I have a hard time picking ANY platform. We've also had offers from Apostrophe (http://apostrophenow.com) to host and manage the content. Either which way, your offer is generous, but picking platforms now would be premat
