to attract new media producers who will use this resource

As Tara notes, it's more of an intangible quality of intentional
community. In a typical exec suite or office sharing arrangement, you
may or may not get to know other people using the site, and you may or

I like the metaphor of flocks. I've enjoyed watching flocks of
starlings. Somehow or another they operate as with one will,
swooping, diving, circling, etc. Now, what's really interesting is
when two or more independent flocks are occupying the same sky. This
flock goes this way, the other,

I threw up a ning for Uptime so I'd have a place for people to go to

Over time, folks have joined the site, not just members of Uptime, but
other people interested in it (like Ken, from Tampa, who posts here as
well).
Whenever anyone has a suggestion for the site, I

We just started up, and we haven't seen much in the way of demand,
although our Grand Opening is this Thursday evening, so I expect we'll
be hearing from people wanting to use our space in various ways.

Yep, this is the week for coworking. Uptime has been open for about a

We've got a great RSVP response, nearly 80, and anticipating 100 by

True that. At the VC conference I produced yesterday, I had a chance
to run coworking (and particularly the Uptime model) past a few

Axon,
Would you be willing to share your thoughts on expansion plans and the
justification behind them? Scale seems about the only way to make
real money with coworking.
The successful spaces I've visited are very mom and pop. What are

I tend to think that free access for select drop-ins is not an
expense; it's added value. Random, presumably creative and nomadic,

zero politics to the collaborative process. And you don't have to pay
