[Coworking] Experience with Stamps.com?
Hey all, I had a quick question (for my US counterparts) about sending mail from coworking spaces. Up until now, everyone has just kind of done their own thing. Our previous location was just a few blocks from a post office, so it made sense for people to just walk down and take care of any shipping they needed in an on-demand fashion. Since our move, though, we're a bit further and yesterday one of my members brought the idea of investing in a postage scale for everyone. This got me to thinking about taking it a step further with some sort of on-demand postage printing service like Stamps.com Personally, I don't send much mail in my business so I don't have much of a frame of reference for this sort of thing; Have any other spaces gone this route, with a centralized mailing service offered to members? Have you found it to be worth the added effort of keeping track of who spent what and charging them back for printed postage and materials? Thanks so much!

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Facebook Page and other ideas
Maybe you can use Pngine to open topics and share posts, it's a platform that combines forums and blogs sort of, would be cool. There is already a topic opened by a coworking space in Egypt.

Hi there are several groups on coworking, by region, and one for global connection. Just type coworking in fb search and then check for pages and groups.

[Coworking] Re: What does coworking has in common with the craft brewing movement?
This story goes emphasis on a grander scale what we've been able to do with Denver Coworks, our local alliance. We openly work together and keep each other posted about our availability, our intentions and goals in community building, and future plans. Over the last year we have a strong understanding of each other, direct people to the help them find what they're looking for, and put on events to bring our communities together. It has make each space stronger and certainly built awareness of the movement. From the public perspective Denver Coworks looks like one organization with a lot of themed spaces focus on building a different communities. This was not intentional but it evolved to appear so because we only included fairly like-minded coworking spaces in a similar way that Dogfish Head collaborates with other like-minded craft brewers. We acknowledge each other, proud of what everyone is doing, and looking for new ways to work together. Most importantly it builds up a level of trust and camraderie between 'competitors.' The Colorado Coworking Passport is the most recent example and that started by a discussion of two alliances in Boulder and Denver trying to figure out how we can work together. To keep with the craft brew analogy it's like buying a twelve pack with twelve different crafts bottles. Keep exploring and you can also come back to your favorite. -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

Re: [Coworking] Re: What does coworking has in common with the craft brewing movement?
I'm loving to see this discussion because i recently failed in opening a coworking space in my hometown and decided to start crafting my own beer after that. Thank you for finding some logical connection between those two :) Having experienced both in a short time I can think of some common ingredients to both business: collaboration, diy culture, global thinking / local action, defying business as usual, having a fulfilling work and having fun!

[Coworking] Strategies for showing which members are on-site on a given day?
Hey all Wonder if anyone has novel ways of showing which members are in the space on a given day. Do you use table signs? flags? Pictures? Anything? I'd love to hear any creative ideas. We've tried a few things in the past but nothing's really stuck. I'd love to hear your experiences, see pics, etc. thanks!

I've found that the faces on the people who are in the space are the best way to see who's in the space. ;) -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 6:36 PM, Eli Malinsky e...@socialinnovation.orgwrote: Hey all Wonder if anyone has novel ways of showing which members are in the space on a given day.

Re: [Coworking] Strategies for showing which members are on-site on a given day?
We have done this in a few different ways but both rely on tech (Nadine). We have an iPad at the front desk that shows who is Here Today and I setup a screen that shows the same information but bigger and continuously. But I mucked up the works that drove the screen so it's not up anymore. Nadine can also email alert when you and someone you want to meet are both in the space. Fun stuff but both require the tech and going to a machine which less interesting since it's not at the table, with the people when they are working. That would be more exciting and more in line with your question I believe.
