The move by Regus to claim the coworking space validates the growing power of coworking and the coworking movement. It also shows how mainstream coworking (or at least the term coworking) has become. Regus wouldn't have done this unless they were seeing rapidly growing interest in coworking. Thei

Did anyone on this list have a SXSW panel session on coworking accepted? They announced 600+ SXSW Interactive panels last week, and ours wasn't on the list. There are 31 in the Future of Work track, but none are obviously about coworking. http://sxsw.com/node/9580?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Nov

Morning y'all, Well, it was only a matter of time, I suppose. But here's the great part about Regus claiming any sense of ownership over coworking: they'll always be playing catch-up. I am insanely confident in the ability of coworking spaces to create amazing experiences for the members who are

Hey Tony! Thanks for sharing the article- it's great! Would you be interested in doing any sort of profile of a coworking space? Citizen Space is not only the first of it's kind, but is a great starting point for a lot of content that shows coworking in action. Let me know what you think! Than
