Hi JC, I'd be interested in hearing what you find. If you post back in the future on a new thread, "comparing online with in-person coworking", I would read that.
There are studies showing different benefits from in-person communication than from online communication. However there are Google Hangouts, listserves, IRC, and hundreds of other ways to interact that aren't "co-working". I don't think "virtual co-working" could have as much benefit (but if it could, I'd be interested to hear why people pay for it) or deeply value it as something life-changing. Most coworking I'm aware of starts as one in-person all-day coworking meeting, then a monthly meeting, then weekly, then in a no-charge space like a living room, cafe or a favor at an office, then getting its own place.
