John Berns put together a BarCamp in Bangkok. Now he’s musing on a coworking space or a Jelly in Bangkok. His post captures the vision and the spirit of coworking with an honest candor that makes me recall my first introduction to the idea. I sent him an e-mail in hope of watching this unfold. We’ll see what happens.
Working my way through the story in On the Luck of Seven, “an open-source journey around the world documenting free culture, social innovators & global change.” Coworking is a big part of this story.
Am I the only one who missed this? In Good Company is a community workspace for women entrepreneurs. It’s a combination learning-space, co-working space, and business incubator. It opened in Manhattan last October (2007). I was just in Manhattan…!
Since day 1, I’ve been interested in the intersection of coworking and seed incubation (as exemplified by Y Combinator and Seedcamp)—it’s all about innovation, really. Companies like Conjunctured take a stab at new models on the services side (although there’s nothing that limits them to services), while companies like Ooga Labs do interesting things on the products side. They’re “…developing 4-6 consumer Internet businesses simultaneously…”. Makes me want to stay in bed…
Not an Employee says what I want to say better than I say it. They will be at SXSW. We will be at SXSW. I will be in touch before SXSW, guys/gals. We’re coming with swag too. Maybe we can exchange swag…

Ok, let’s settle this. Is it swag? shwag? schwag?
I’m calling it “loot” from now on…
