After some discussion with Chris from Sector67, we determiend that
coworkingregistry.org should probably not try to supoort hacker
spaces, since hacker spaces have a great directory at http://hackerspaces.org
. Here are a few sample listings of the big ones:

Looks like great progress is being made. That's awesome! I'd actually
prefer to not have options from which to pick for membership levels.
These types of check boxes are what frustrate the heck out of me with
current desk sharing sites. It might make more sense to let people

+1 to Angel, I have recently taken my standard pricing down from my
website as nobody actually wants the "standard package" except drop

options are than about how much it costs.

Maybe I will have a poster made of # 36 and put it up when I go speak

I was about to mention Deskbookers.nl, and you beat me to it. Here's
the thing: there are several different groups looking for a coworking
space. One, and the one that is the easiest to serve from a portal
perspective, is the mobile worker who wants a drop in desk or the

Oddly enough, I based a lot of my membership pricing on the typical
amount of money people were spending on food/drink to be at a cafe all
day. Generally, if they were responsible cafe patrons, they would
spend $10 for 4 hours and $20 to sit there all day. I also did a

reason to clutter up the rates page if no one is interested. I'm also

Hi, Joel,
I don't think you were off, I think you were right: based on the grid
as proposed, the site is a way of comparing spaces in a location based
on price. That was my objection: I think there are enough of
those.
I do take your point; I have a great deal of sympathy for you and for

I think Joel's point below is really important as it highlights two
opposing approaches that each have strong, but opposing, costs and
benefits: (1) From a data collection/systematic comparison point of
view, it's hard to beat set categories for coworking spaces. And as
there are more and more spac
Since there are a lot of people working on placing people in spaces
(deskbookers, loosecubes, etc), I think it makes sense for
coworkingregistry to serve as a portal that showcases the
"personality" and "vibrance" of coworking spaces and communities.
Also, coworkingregistry is not a for-profit proj
If you need any other info on hackerspaces, let me know. I'm connected with

This is an interesting conversation - I've seen a lot of pricepoint
replication as new spaces emerge. That is to say, people pick price points
based on what other spaces charge rather than what their members (or
potential members) value. This affects price points, functional offerings,
locations, a

This is a great technique for pricing in general: look at what your desired
customers already spend money on, reverse engineer that to understand how
they perceive value, and base your price points on that.
There's nothing worse than having something great to sell to an audience who
isn't interest
Precisely. It's easy to get lost in what the software can do, but it's
important to carefully consider what the software should, or shouldn't do.
And let's not all conform to the software and lose all our beautiful
differences.

That's how I approached it as well Angel, though I think your prices are a
bit more generous than mine. I also made it so that either two of my lowest
memberships or one of my 10days/month (the two most popular memberships I'm
assuming) would cover my monthly expenses so I wouldn't feel stressed to
So maybe I was a little off on my first post. It really does matter
what your goal is: whether you primary focus is differentiating based
on price, or those looking for a community.
If you're after people who differentiate based on price, it's a lot
easier to define set plans. It makes the whole in
I've been offering custom packages since day 1. I set up my "data-entry
