I don't know of *any* healthy coworking space that has closed, or even struggled, specifically because a nearby executive suite started using the word "coworking".
I could see it make some sense in theory, but I think falls more into traditional business paranoia than any scope of reality. Again, the point is much less to stop others from misusing than it is to increase the number of people who are properly using. Nuanced, but definitively different. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 4:44 PM, Mike Schinkel <[email protected]>wrote: > On Mar 2, 2010, at 1:54 PM, Patrick wrote: > > The "erroneous" use of the word is pretty > much completely an annoyance, nothing more, there isn't really > anything bad coming out of it. > > > I disagree.
