Veröffentlicht am 21. April 2012 von admin in Kategorie: CoWorking Basics, Konzeptionelles, CoWorking News International, Free Coworking Directory, Meinung, Studien und Trends | 1 Kommentar »

When I predicted in January, a little more than three months ago, that we would see a „marked increase in „Free Coworking“ … offers“ this year, I could not imagine how quickly this would happen. Of course we did not just sit back and see what would happen, we actively promoted the idea of „Free […]

Veröffentlicht am 10. April 2012 von admin in Kategorie: CoWorking Basics, Konzeptionelles, CoWorking Kultur, CoWorking News International, Meinung, Videos | Kommentieren »

Already one of the great fruits of the widespread discussion on free coworking is the acknowledgement that paid coworking has lost its bearings in many instances. Alex Hillman on his blog dangerouslyawesome puts it like this: „MANY paid coworking spaces aren’t differentiating themselves from business centers and aren’t keeping in line with the coworking core […]

Coworking needs more transparency and Coworker involvement

Veröffentlicht am 9. März 2012 von admin in Kategorie: CoWorking Basics, Konzeptionelles, CoWorking News International, Meinung | 3 Kommentare

As I was just researching on an article on „Free Coworking“ , more precisely on „Free Coworking Grants“, I noticed something that we should become more aware of. In trying to make a better coworking world, we run the danger of becoming slaves to an apparently „cozy“ but artificial design world. In doing so, we […]

Free Coworking at the Public Library

Veröffentlicht am 6. März 2012 von admin in Kategorie: CoWorking News International, Free Coworking Directory, Meinung | Kommentieren »

I like to pick up the great ideas of Phil Shapiro (PC World) and SELC (Policies for a Shareable City #13: Public Libraries). Phil Shapiro suggests a very interesting „Free Coworking“ model for public libraries which the SELC supports: „Do you work as a computer programmer, writer, editor, animator, or graphic designer? Would you like […]

„Free Coworking“: A „Facebook“ developed, run and owned by the Coworkers

To spark a few emotions at the beginning, I like to look at the currently largest social network „Facebook“. By closer examination you find out, that it is already run to a large extent by the users. The obvious one: Content. I guess no discussion on that one.  Another example: Support. According to a german […]

„Free Coworking“: A „Free Apple“ Analogy

Veröffentlicht am 6. Februar 2012 von admin in Kategorie: CoWorking Basics, Konzeptionelles, CoWorking Kultur, CoWorking News International, Meinung | 1 Kommentar »

What would you rather have, a „free apple“ or a „paid apple“? By the way, I am talking about the fruit not the products from Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs ;-). I once had a box of apples that was left over from a conference. I could not take the box home, so I thought […]
