I think this is really the next level for coworking. In Portugal, ALL– DESK is launching right now – www.all-desk.com. Work everywhere, all over, ALL–DESK claims. Can you imagine working at a gas station? Maybe not that stupid if you think about the promotional boost one could experience. I am a designer. I'd love to stay a few days in a place full of people coming in and out. so, maybe not a place for a steady workplace but it could work in terms of self promotion for a new service, product, etc. Or just because you live two floors above...
