RE: [Coworking] Re: looking for software to administer and book desk in a coworking location
I was using multiple Google calendars to manage my meeting spaces and conference room and managing it all myself. I simply outgrew the system and have recently upgraded to Liquidspace. I worked with Liquidspace at SXSW last year and was impressed by their app and their team. They have lots of new improvements coming and are super supportive.

Suite133 is still here and growing. We may be neglecting our coworking community duties, website, and self-promotion, but we are still here. Here's my question for you. Have any of you had companies register your address as their own without actually being a member? In the four years that we've been around, this has happened twice. First it was a limousine company. Then it was an alarm company. We first discovered it when someone dropped into our office to look for one of the companies. A few web searches later and we discovered our address all over the interwebs and in business license filings that were not related to us. At first we got rather worked up about it. Our attorney, however, told us to not worry about it as there was no actual harm being done to our business. So, just the other day a few more people dropped in to see someone about an alarm system. Again, our attorney (who has a desk here) tells us that this is a problem for state/city government types that handle licensing and not us. I'm curious. Have any of you run into this before? If so, what did you do? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you, Derek Young Suite133 - Tacoma, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

RE: [Coworking] Re: What percentage of your membership is made up by women?
I would love to see some real numbers around women and coworking. I'm currently 50% women but usually a little higher than that. Deskmag or Emergent - Are you doing another survey soon? Could we get some more specific numbers around demographics for the next one? -Original Message- From: coworking@googlegroups.com [mailto:coworking@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of sk...@emergentresearch.com Sent: Friday, July 01, 2011 8:54 PM To: Coworking Subject: [Coworking] Re: What percentage of your membership is made up by women? Back when the global coworking survey was done, women comprised about 1/3rd of the US respondents. Based on our other work, this was probably a bit higher than the actual female rate, which at the time we estimated at about 25%. This data is about 1 year old. In our interviews with women we often hear that the habits of male coworkers don't always lead to environments that are attractive to women. In particular, the personal grooming and behavioral habits of young male techies are often highlighted (note to young male techies - take more showers:)). Despite this, It seems from our point of view that women's coworking share is increasing. Lots of studies show women are more naturally collaborative than men (sorry guys). This could indicate in the long run women coworkers will out number men. Having said that, self-employment skews male. So does employment in the tech industry. Given that many coworkers are in the tech industry and self-employed, having more male than female coworkers - at least today - is not a surprise.

RE: [Coworking] Link Coworking - Austin's latest Coworking Space
, and how not all members are listed - the text makes it appear that it is a full list of all members, which (a) might make folks say only four members? including you? and co-promotional partners? or (b) might make someone reluctant to join if they thought that they would have to be publicly listed. And on opening day, calling them member success stories doesn't ring true - clearly the successes at this point are from their pre-Coworking days. Ditto (excellent point and will be reworked). In general (and you're not at all alone in this), watch out for the transition issues around a website that is designed before you open to reflect a business-in-operation, but which doesn't fully support your launch period. I often recommend that people plan not one website fully deployed at startup, but a phased approach that gradually evolves. Remember, the website isn't just a box to check on your launch plan, but the primary point of exposure/contact for not just your members but your whole extended community that will be essential to your long-term success. We did do a static page to begin with and then develop the interactive site. The site is far from complete and the member section will be very robust but behind the curtain. I have been getting on average 3 leads a day from the web. I'm curious about your membership model; it seems like a one-time $200 fee creates a potentially significant barrier to entry compared to some other spaces, including ones in Austin; do you have any drop-in rates, day-rates, trial periods, or other ways for people to try before they buy? I see any scheduled tour includes a day free, but it seems like that wouldn't offer a full experience; Is the concept that members make a major commitment? Is any portion refundable? (the discounted rates for a year's contract put me in mind of cell-phone service; will we eventually see Coworking spaces offer to pay early cancellation fees for other spaces?) To launch Link, I went with a very simple plan. I have looked at hundreds of Coworking websites and I found many of the models to be way too complicated. I do feel people need to make a commitment to the space so the $200 is non-refundable. I'm also not going after the typical client. I worked from home for 9 years and I wanted a space just like Link. I believe there is a market in Austin that wants a slightly higher-end space and they'll be willing to pay a little more. All that being said, If I get feedback that I'm wrong, I'll revisit my model. A day trial is free and I wanted the tour because I'm a sales person and I want to talk to every potential client. I'm also a little surprised that half-day rentals for rooms seems to be the minimum; in my Coworking experience, I use an hour here or there most of the time, and that lets your shared spaces get more users per time period. Again, simplicity was the driver. However, if the community wants it changed, I am open to change. In Events, it's hard for someone to be on time as a courtesy to our speaker when the lunch events don't list a start time Oversight on my part, will fix asap! And it looks like there's a typo in the firm name for your 10/13 speaker Thank you for catching that. And if you can include links from the speaker names, that would make it easier for people to learn more about why they should come. Good point. Remember to update your Twitter bio - memberships available starting in July is clearly no longer your main message (Changed), and at this point a photo as background or even as user icon might be more captivating/engaging. I'll take that into consideration. Thank you very much for your generous feedback, suggestions, and advice. I really appreciate your candor and time you put into exploring Link.

[Coworking] Good news from Alltop
Good Afternoon Coworking Community, I hit up Guy Kawasaki at www.Alltop.com http://www.alltop.com/ about adding Coworking as a category under work. I just heard back and they have agreed to add Coworking if I can provide them with 15 feeds. I told them I thought I could supply at least 100 (they were excited about that). Please email me off list at l...@linkcoworking.com (with just your RSS link in the subject line) if you would like me to submit you to Alltop. I don’t control what they post or in what order. In addition, after I send them the list it will be up to Alltop to maintain the content on their site. I will send the email to Alltop at 5:00 CST on Monday the 19th. I think this will be a great win for our community. Liz www.linkcoworking.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

[Coworking] Coworking on NPR
Here is some more good press (please pass on to your mother): http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122252297sc=fbcc=fp From: coworking@googlegroups.com [mailto:cowork...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jacob Sayles Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2010 11:32 AM To: coworking@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking Article in WSJ Big press makes my mother happy and improves our google ranking. All that aside, we haven't had anyone serious about signing up that said I heard about you in the WSJ. It does get us many interesting calls about opening in other locations. Being involved in the local community is orders of magnitude more effective. Sent from my iPhone in Brazil On Jan 6, 2010, at 1:38 PM, Rick rickm...@gmail.com wrote: Dave brings up a good point.

RE: [Coworking] Membership Data
Better late than never. I'm organizing and opening emails from 2 weeks ago! I got creamed by a sinus infection, cold and the holidays. 1) around 30 2) max capacity for single seating - 75 for events 125 3) the website really helps, I'm challenged to update out via email. Need to formulate a plan -Original Message- From: coworking@googlegroups.com [mailto:cowork...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kirtus Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 11:23 AM To: Coworking Subject: [Coworking] Membership Data Happy Monday everyone! As you guys know, Andrew Bushnell and I are working on opening Cospace in Austin, Tx. We are in the process of writing our business plan, and I need some help with membership data. If possible, please answer the 3 questions below. Any and all input is appreciated! 1) How many coworking members do you have? (feel free to guesstimate, use averages, etc - whatever you feel comfortable providing) 2) How many members can your space hold? 3 Any success stories or obstacles in growing your member base? Just a little blurb about us. We have been working hard to build our pre-open community through Jellies and Meetups. Coworking is not a new trend here in Austin, but it does fly under the radar on our side of town. Finding the right space seems to be pretty tough, but we believe that the demand is high. Our plan is to provide a good amount of meeting / event space as well. But, ultimately we know that it's all about the community!

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Atlanta
Hello All - I was in Atlanta 2 weeks ago and went to see RoamAtlanta. They don't brand themselves as Coworking (which I thought was interesting). If I understood correctly they are opening a second space in Alpharetta and then looking to open a third in Houston.

They are currently polling the Atlanta community in support of this effort -- http://twurl.nl/bdo0ef Perhaps you should touch base with them first? Also, if you're not aware, there is a coworking space a bit outside of Atlanta in Alpharetta called Roam Atlanta (www.roamatlanta.com) Did you happen to come out to the meetings we hosted last year about opening a coworking space in Atlanta or is this a recent effort?

[Coworking] Re: Link Coworking Introduction
Hi Shelley, I saw that you registered on the site and immediately went and looked at your website. We have the exact same travel addiction. I went on a mission trip to Nicaragua in January and couldn't stop talking about it. Congratulations on your book, I will certainly pick it up. Born into Brothels is one of my all time favorite documentaries. You will be added to the mailing list and I will keep you in the loop. Let me know if you want to meet sometime for coffee, I'm always interested in meeting someone that is interested in coworking.
