Re: Open source real estate... Jerome, can you tell us what percentage of Blankspaces members are "techies"? (Other space owners, please chime in as well.)
I find it's harder each year to delineate tech, media or green as the concepts become more integrated into every enterprise. Obviously, there are tech experts and/or consultants who do work for and collaborate with others. But in a space full of developers, for instance, there would be far fewer opportunities to network and collaborate with others who need their services. The issue I'm getting at is the necessity for diversity, like in any thriving, sustainable community. (Or financial portfolio, for that matter.) My view is that the only way for coworking to thrive and gain mainstream awareness is for space owners to seek out the widest variety of professions that could add value for their members. I simply think the exclusive club concept has to become a little more inclusive. That's not such a scary prospect once you look at the immense opportunities. There is sustainability and growth in diversity.
