Hey Steve, I know there's always a risk of letting our personal financial situation paint the way we view and explain what's going on around us.
That being said, from what I have heard and experienced so far these kinds of economies are GREAT for freelancers, small companies, and groups of contractors. This has been my experience the past couple months. I am a solo company owner and business has been getting better and better. So I think the demand for coworking will go up in hard economic times. The problem is so few people know what coworking is or even that it exists. andrew parker signal 7 interactive http://www.sig-7.net On Oct 18, 12:37 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi: > > My name is Steve King and I'm a long time lurker on this site:).
