The idea behind a discussion about 3 years ago regarding the THEN coworking.com, coworkination.com is that the site is used for the following purposes:
1. Information on the movement and how to get involved 2. An up to date map of the current coworking spaces 3. That map is generated by signing up with a 'space' (because of spam, those can be voted off the island) 4. If you are part of a space (owner, permanent tenant), you can sign up as an individual under coworkination + a space, if you are nomadic, you sign up as an individual and 'check in' to spaces you visit. 5. There was a foursquare-like element with space badges that would appear on your profile (spaces you visit) And...eventually, there was to be a geo-logging element to it. We discussed using something like Plazes.com (acquired by Nokia since then) to have anyone who opened a laptop in a space automagically check in. But it wasn't meant to be some formal organization. The goals were to: 1. Give n00bies information and directions to their nearest coworking space and for those interested in starting a space, good information. 2. Give coworking spaces a platform to shine on 3. Give all of us a more accurate read as to how many real coworking spaces (there is too much spam on the gMap) there are and who to contact in regards to those spaces. But really nothing else. I am still leaning towards that idea.
