There have been many good stories on coworking in many newspapers across the US, the best one is probably coming out soon. The story we've told a zillion reporters: Chris blogged about the need for civic spaces back in early 2005? Chris will have the reference to that...then he met Brad N who was

I dunno, accuracy may be overrated. ;-) It's worth it to be able to see phrases like "laughing at his initial hubris". Powerful imagery. Brad, maybe we could record a video of you laughing at your initial hubris? I think it would make the charts at YouTube, and be a strange insider-reference promo

My view is if an article is positive and more than 50% correct, I am very happy. Also, myths often play a big role in spreading the news. For example, the myth that Pierre Omidyar started eBay to help his girl friend buy and sell Pez dispensers was very powerful for them. eBay even has a Pez di
