Re: [Coworking] Re: If you could do it again....

Signs I've noticed for where coworking is "about to happen", and have seen it morph into great community spaces once someone steps up to help make the infrastructure possible: - a group of people (often professionals, though it's not exclusive) are already congregating (things like Jelly, me

Re: [Coworking] Re: CHBP: office nomads- CHANGE 2

Thanks for the kind words. I wrote this during the peak of the coworking.com buy and big "what is coworking" debate earlier this year. I was simply trying to embrace the obvious fact that it's hard to define, and easy to know when you see it. Jacob On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 1:29 PM, Alex Hillman

Re: [Coworking] Re: CHBP: office nomads- CHANGE 2

I'm digging on this loose association approach for the region, and the simple website. In fact, the language on the homepage about "what is coworking" is among the best I've seen: Coworking means different things to different people although one pattern remains true. Coworking is about making th

Ooops, wrong group. As you can see, we are combining marketing efforts here in Seattle and taking out an ad together. Since it's out there, what do you think of what we came up with? It directs to a very simple website that pushes the discussion over to our Coworking Seattle google group and a l

Hi coworking people, Today is a special day, not only we celebrate our 2 year anniversary tonight (Some we'll say that we started the space in Oct 2007, but we were really active after July 2008), but it's also our cherished Bastille day! This last year has been thrilling, we have grown an awesom

Re: [Coworking] communicating coworking

Alex, I do that when people ask me to explain the concept of coworking or when I have time to talk to them. In general, I talk to the people in the elevator[1], on the street, in a bar, a restaurant and so on. I must be as clear and short as possible to "send" the message. [1] I recommend every

Some simple adjustments to your response could make your (and their) lives easier...describe how it works/what it does first, then give it a name (coworking!) that they can associate with it for the rest of the conversation! It sounds like you're already doing that, Cadu. The other aspect of using

Re: [Coworking] communicating coworking

Will, I have the same problem here in Rio, because the coworking concept is not familiar to the people. If someone ask me what about is my business and I say "it's a coworking space", this one usually don't understand. So, I'm getting used to saying that my business is about a place to support

Re: [Coworking] communicating coworking

I think this is a catch 22, in the context of media at definitely but also in terms of sales: Any familiar word is unlikely to catch the attention of the media, in comparison to a new word that requires some explanation. On the other hand, it becomes up to the interviewee to be good at describing
