[Coworking] Re: Coworking Economic Development
Jumping onto this a bit late but we're spending a lot of time around this as well in Grand Rapids, MI w/the Factory. We're working really closely with Lakeshore Advantage (www.lakeshoreadvantage.com) - our local Econ Dev. We've done a lot of projects/events already together and we now recently partnered with them to run Momentum www.momentum-mi.com, a pre-seed venture firm helping keep ideas and talent in the West Michigan area. Along with that, we find ourselves partnering with a crap load of other organizations and recently with different colleges/universities. I'm at SXSW and up for a few beers around a conversation.

If the State Association of Chambers of Commerce in Oregon is paying attention in a new way, I suspect your chambers and Economic Development folks are as well. So now is the time for some of those critical conversations. And I believe with the right conversations, you will get more than referals. The trick is to have real economic impact. Stop thinking of your space as subletting office space to freelancers and two person companies. Instead have the vision to change your city and be a piece of infrastructure for the type of people that are employable for jobs most cities want to have. I am really interested in talking more about this kind of thing at the SXSW meetups.

Re: [Coworking] A different take on the history of 'Coworking'
And also very similar concept was the Neighborhood TeleWork Center back in the daythat is where my roots are...telecommuting / telework.

Bernie has been using it for describing a social work interaction for quite some time, it seems, and actually bought coworking.com http://coworking.com in 2000. 10 years later, this movement has grown to what we know it as (whatever the hell that is) and the transfer of the domain largely signified the adoption of the word by the movement to be something much bigger and meaningful. It's a cool story, and I've been chatting offline with Bernie and Gerrit about it. They're interesting, thoughtful guys in my recent experience, and they made the coworking.com http://coworking.com purchase an enjoyable one. Which reminds me, I'm hoping to have some exciting announcements this week about the domain (and some other things) this week while at SXSW.
