Coworking in Austin has provided me so many valuable personal and professional relationships, so I'm certainly glad to see so many thriving coworking spaces out there! For coworking in Austin you can check out a space that some friends and I opened in August: http://conjunctured.com I’ll chime in too and throw in my support for the coworking movement!

We're a <i>vertical</i> co-working space, where all of our tenants are working on software development projects or startups. We also have business and technical lectures, support local users groups with meeting space, etc. Prices start at $150 for a 10-day pass, and we offer private office space as well as desks in our open area.

Coworking spaces create amazing networking opportunities and are environments that really foster creativity. I'm currently working with BLANKSPACES in Los Angeles, and we are finding that people are hiring others within the space. BLANKSPACES has everything from conference rooms and offices to a simple "work bar" available and the open layout is really unique. Check it out: http://www.blankspaces.com/ I agree with Michael.

In addition to the physical advantages coworking spaces have over Starbucks and Kinko's, you will not find the collaboration and community inherent in coworking. $400 is cheap for a great place to work and a place that accelerates serendipity and provides unexpected ideas. <a href="http://www.launchpadcoworking.com" rel="nofollow">But then again, I'm biased.</a> Jordan, I don’t think it is strange at all.

Some Starbucks have closed meeting rooms. Back in the day I knew people who always shared small offices. Warehouse living used to be a reality in Seattle and there would be artists alongside a few other unrelated businesses or attorneys all sharing the same space. Jelly is a good idea it's like a hosted co-op. Funny with all the coffee shops, Starbucks and Kinko’s in the area someone would pay $400 for this. Some Starbucks have closed meeting rooms.

I have found that the biggest pros are ones that are not necessarily tangible. As a coworker, I truly feel I am part of a very special group who understands that working <strong>should</strong> and <strong>can</strong> be fun. As a space owner, the journey to open and get a coworking space off the ground is remarkable. There are days when I swear I can feel the whole city of Des Moines is buzzing about Impromptu Studio. The breadth and depth of people you will meet along the way is astounding. As David mentioned above, seek us space owners out. We have a lot to share. Reading our blogs can also gain insights into the operational aspect of running a space. I work at and run Impromptu Studio.

Duh :) ) Contact Alex Hillman (http://www.dangerouslyawesome.com/), Tony Bacigalupo (http://www.tonybacigalupo.com) from New Work City (http://www.nwcny.com/) which is Manhattan coworking, or anyone else. Everyone is willing to help, because this is about community as much as it is about work. That's the best part.

It's been pretty instrumental in setting the bar for coworking, and its founders have done an awesome job of creating a space that not only allows me to work, but to swap mind-share with some of the smartest people in the area. The great thing about coworking is that it also builds and introduces you to a whole creative community, from artists to hacker-engineers who make really crazy stuff. It's a brilliant model. Check out Independents Hall or stop by if you're ever in the Philadelphia area! http://www.indyhall.org I work at the coworking facility in Philadelphia called Independents Hall.
