Oh...and FYI... http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/coworking
is where everyone is supposed to be putting their links to press (whether it is a blog or a traditional media source) about coworking. It currently feeds into the sidebar. We can make an entire page of these. An alternative is to take the Google News feed and create a page, but I get those notifications via email and there is alot of non-coworking (meaning our coworking) stuff in there, so it would produce a bunch o'crap. Which is why we use the ma.gnolia group.
