Recently posted to the Coworking Google Group. Reposted here as a lead in to a series of posts of the emerging ecology of work/workplace.
After a year of living the life of a working nomad, and after many conversations with both coworkers, independents, entrepreneurs, as well as people in corporate HR and Real Estate, it’s clear […]

Well guys, we are drawing near.
Tony, Todd and I have been hard at work on our ‘coworking book’ for many months now, and we are close indeed. The book has evolved into being about more than coworking. What we have encountered in our journey into coworking is a glimpse into the Future Of Work.
Coworking is, indeed, a key ingredient […]

Regarding nomadism:
There’s no doubt in my mind that we’re on the front end of a powerful trend; a trend that will only intensify as the current economic situation forces employers to look for ways to save money, and as workers look for ways to spend less time commuting and less money on gas.

If you type “coworking” or “coworking” and the name of a city into Google the sponsored links increasing look like the following:
I have no idea whether or not this is good or bad. I have no doubt that a group of people could come together and turn a corner of a rent-a-desk into a […]

I’ve been reading Dell’s Digital Nomads site and the reactions (for/against) to it. I’ll be interested to see whether or not this catalyzes interest in telecommuting, coworking, nomadism, etc. at the corporate level, whether this develops into any kind of meaningful community place for digital nomads, or whether it evolves into a transparent marketing tool […]

A few months ago I wrote a piece on the Business of Coworking. It received a decent amount of attention, both positive and negative. Frankly, more negative than anything, but that was the point.
Can coworking be a business? Should it?
Clearly there are different answers that can be provided here. What I am interested in […]

I’m in town from out of town. I need the Internet–I have a presentation/demonstration at 3pm. I’m going to be talking, perhaps loudly. I don’t want the sound of a barista banging away in the background. What do I do? More to the point, where do I go?
This is just […]
Relative to the number of anthropologists who study things like art, religion, family, music, medicine, politics, etc., the number who study economics and markets is tiny. This is a shame. Markets, wherever you are, are social exchanges where culture(s) intersect and collide, where the commerical realms of cultural systems come forth to trade.
Sure, there is […]
