Press Round Up on Coworking

Lots of coverage on coworking:

1.  The Christian Science Monitor on March 3rd describes coworking:

"The concept tries to combine the structure and socializing of a company office space with the flexibility of working from home. There are desks to rent, conference rooms to reserve, and still plenty of room to recline.

Coworking spots cater to the telecommuters, freelancers, and entrepreneurs of the e-mail era. These laptop bedouins represent a growing segment of the US workforce, and many coworkers say others are bound to find similar arrangements."

2.  The New York Times on February 20th describes coworking:

"...where someone sets up an office and rents out desks, creating a community of people who have different jobs but who want to share ideas."

3.  The New York Times on February 28th describes hybrid coworking spaces:

"...many accounts it is an unusual hybrid: equal parts business incubator, coworking and learning space and members-only networking group."

4.  The SF Chronicle on February 19th describes coworking:

"In co-working, a group of freelancers or other solo entrepreneurs share one big office space with perks that they might not get at home, such as conference rooms, espresso machines and opportunities for socializing."

Obviously coworking has captured the imagination of the press.
