We did an informal count in December of last year and came up with 212 coworking facilities in the US. This was our 2nd annual informal count and it showed growth of about 60% year over year. The New York Times (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/01/working-in-the- company-of-strangers/) and others covered it.
The count we did was pretty simple. We started with this site and coworking wiki. We also used a mix of web search methods. Our criteria was (1) a facility had to self-identify as a coworking facility; (2) it had offer memberships to the public; (3) in our view it had to look like it derived a significant % of revenue from coworking related activities; and (4) it had to have an online presence that indicated ongoing activity.
