Venkat, You make some very interesting points, however, the most important thing you state is this: "Though I haven’t yet managed to visit an actual space..."
In this regard, your article has a speculative air -- like a Jules Verne novel wondering about what the moon might be like, and what it should be like if the theories are correct. I'd also argue that coworking has no particular interest in "winning," so the harping on a 3:1 odds against it becoming "the market leader" is a moot point (and obviously speculative since you haven't observed it first hand). It's a model and it works for some folks. Books may not necessarily help the cause. You are right to write a review of a book; it is a physical object that tries to stand on its own, and a review is entitled to do the same. However, a book about coworking that doesn't afford an opportunity to actually experience coworking is arguably as lacking as an essay critiquing the coworking model written by someone who has no first hand experience with it. Towards that end, I reiterate: come to Baltimore and cowork. And visit one of the other sites. Then write about the model once you have some experience with it. Also, I'm very interested in helping you advance coworking initiatives in DC and would suggest that actions speak louder than words -- even well crafted and intelligent ones. Thanks for your interest and enthusiasm -- it's the fuel that will drive us all forward. :) Best, Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
