Discussion at Workalicious

I recently had a great discussion with Greg La Vardera at Workalicious.  Greg was correct.  The conversation went broad on the subject of coworking.  My comments to Greg's post are included below.

While we three authors are definitely immersed in coworking, it is absolutely true that we see/saw coworking as a bellwether for larger changes in the world of work. The first draft of the book was barely about coworking at all (slight exaggeration, but not much).

While things like coworking existed before coworking, things like ubiquitous wifi and good telecommunications tools force us to ask questions that challenge the status quo. More to the point, they have allowed a growing number of people to actually experiment with alternatives. Right now, coworking is an anomaly; but as Drew likes to point out, anomalies are often the leading indicators of significant/revolutionary forward change.

That's where we see coworking.
