The temporary nature of hanging out in hotels is always interesting to me - I love the interactions in the lounge, the bar, the lobby. I'm pretty interested to see how this new twist on a "work friendly" bar and lounge concept takes off. Strikes me as something that'll do really well, considering the popularity of the Ace Hotel lobby in New York as the home for a mostly (but not entirely) ad-hoc coworking community.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2391900,00.asp If you shorten the lifespan of an interaction with somebody to the temporary-ness imposed by hotel living, coworking actually makes a bunch of sense to help enrich the little bit of time you do have to share with strangers. Your common context might not be that you're freelancers, or that you work for yourself - but instead that you're travelers. I know I tend to stay in "favorite" hotels when i visit certain cities. I'd return to a hotel if I knew that there was a good chance of running into cool, savvy people in the lobby. Neat thought exercise. /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
