I think this is a good assumption. Related, is also a common ripple effect of any press we've ever had - most often than not, people who come in immediately after press are attracted to "new hotness" compared to people who find out via word of mouth. I usually take that into capacity planning when we have any new waves of membership related to press. I wish we'd kept better membership records in our first 2 years. Can't say I thought that info would be so valuable to so many people at the time :) -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 12:46 PM, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Gerad. > > The community aspect is pretty strong here.
