There is a new site called Mapalong <http://mapalong.com>. When I heard "story" and "location", I thought of Mapalong. [small shameless plug] The co-creator is an acquaintance of mine. [/small shameless plug]. The idea is to tie stories to locations. Maybe not yet, but soon, it could address this thread. For instance, you could zoom into your city, search for "coworking" and find coworking stories nearby.
Regarding community participation, I've found mixed results. I'm always badgering our members to write a blog post about coworking, or about themselves (they all have access to the Wordpress), and half of them have done so. But I might not be asking them in the right way.
