It's a wonderful option for those that work from home, travel or are looking to cut traditional office costs. These spaces are creative & open, while also allowing you to network & share ideas. Look at sites such as twitter & wiki to learn more about coworking & to find a location near you. Chattanooga,TN has coworking space in the downtown business district.

Recently started a small freelancers' collective meeting on Thursdays in each other's homes. We take turns to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's a real sense of balance as we work hard then enjoy eating together and sharing thanksgiving, hilarity, conversation, encouragement, and advice.

I live and work in London UK. Recently started a small freelancers’ collective meeting on Thursdays in each other’s homes. We take turns to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. There’s a real sense of balance as we work hard then enjoy eating together and sharing thanksgiving, hilarity, conversation, encouragement, and advice.

It’s been a rich experience of genuine community, interchange, support and challenge for all of us. As well as productivity and creative stimulation. Encourage you to try it

Thanks for the mention, Dawn. I like the way our Portland community spans multiple services (Twitter, Upcoming, blogs, etc.) and intersects with meatspace. I also like that we have a range of events; some that work for the whole community, and some for the many niche interests too. It makes our connections to each other feel more resilient than if we were formed around a single social object or common interest. Beer and Blog FTW! Thanks for the mention, Dawn.
