to share with you: Coworker of the Month

I agree with Jerome on Alt. 2.
The biggest thing I continually see missing from directories like this is a
sort of sense of humanity - physical attributes are useful in determining
what you DON'T want, but make it hard to differentiate between one space and
the next once you know what you DO
Coworking isn't a big money-making business. I believe the person who
started the coworking in Beijing has no intention to make quick money
and huge profit. So it really doesn't make any sense to consult a
lawyer to sue him. To be honest, we can't even afford it.
I believe there is a dialogue
I do agree with Alex. I think the interaction among people are the
most important part of the coworking space. I don't even care how
many desks they have, instead, I want to know what kind of people are
hanging out there, and what they do there, and how they get connected
with others and why...
Whatever makes you comfortable.
It's my understanding that cloning is a fairly common element of Asian
culture (Dave Troy can speak to this much better than I can) so the best
thing you can do is draw boundaries for what elements of the clone are
acceptable to your level of comfort. That's really
Alex, thank you for your suggestion. We are aware of the core

Liu Yan,
Just throwing this out there but maybe one way to do it is to encourage copying
and request some conditions from those who do copy.
One example is TED: they have given away their brand but ask that folks follow
the rules for TEDx events in exchange. Maybe you could do something
TEDx is indeed a good model to learn from, thank you for reminding me

Jonathan/Alex- Would there be a possibility to allow them to tag the space

check box or something (open, collaborative, hip, artistic, etc.)
but then allow them to choose a few of their own. Or maybe them only

If I may chime in on this point, I see COWORKING as something that
produces value other than money. I think a lot of the problem with our
current economic condition is the fact that everybody thinks that if
they start doing something, as in providing a service or product, they
are supposed to

Dear Dave,
Thank you for bringing out this question. Copycat and cloning issues
(in Chinese term: Shanzhai) are indeed quite severe in China. But we
have a bit different view on this from the major western mainstream
media. Many of us don't see copycats as the big threat to creativity,

Didn't mean to suggest a scholarly approach to your article, just a
recognition that costs will have different meanings to different
people, and to make the info you relate both relevant and valid,

Exactly. A lot of software solutions try to avoid the more difficult
questions and then people are perplexed why a seemingly feature rich tool
gets a less then stellar reception. We live with so many tools we don't
need... Anyone own a slap-chop? Take this on and you've really got
something.
