We played with Google+ Hangouts on Coworking day, I was in a room with Jonathan Yankovich and Jacob Sayles. It's cool tech, but... I don't think we're evolved to really take advantage of video chat just yet, or the tech isn't quite human enough. As much as I tried to enjoy it, the awkwardness of

[Coworking] Poll/Survey for discovering local interest

2011-08-18 Thread Kelly Sims
I'm thinking about creating an online poll (or survey) in order to help gather some feedback from my local community as I push forward on things. I did a quick search of this group but didn't find anything along those lines that had been done. Has anyone run one before, before setting up a

Great idea. I intend to do the same. One thing we plan to try to gauge is what people are willing to pay. So far (in mere informal conversation), we’ve heard that people love the idea “if they could afford it”. I recommend finding out what coworking is worth to people before getting started

Hi We are located in Singapore - planning a couple of coworking spaces. In our brainstorming sessions, we have also decided to create a survey to get a feel for local interest. Like you mentioned David - pricing it right would be important. Cheers, Bernie On Aug 19, 2011, at 3:36 AM, David
