Really interesting and high level dialogues happening here! David and Danielle, I can't agree with you more.
Coworking is truly a mentality which is beyond the restriction of location and facilities although it is the fact that co-location and technology has made coworking possible and sustainable. I don't see the conflict between technology such as odesk and the coworking location, in fact, I think it is a great tool which can be embedded in the current coworking virtual platform. For many of the coworkers, this is just another tech choice to achieve self actualization. Liu Yan 2010/4/6 WHERE MMM <[email protected]> > I love this angle David.
