I see the various coworking implementations, along with progressive alt-work groups like Bijoy's bootstrap network, as the vehicles by which these groups will first leave and then organize themselves to deliver that value back. Thanks Julie!

Even when people express a longing for community, collaboration, and for something simply *different*, I think it's the need for inspiration and the opportunity to access and harness some of that wisdom seeding the clouds that is driving so many of us to create alternative workspaces. I love seeing all the different types of coworking groups springing up - very different models, but all addressing similar needs.
