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 […]

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 […]

On the 20th of March 2012 we published our 500th article. In this series we like to review the articles that you (the readers) and we (the authors) both consider most relevant and important to demonstrate what “CoWorking News” represents today.

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 […]

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 […]

We are very happy that a number of coworking space operators have already commented on our „Free Coworking“ Campaign and joined the „Free Coworking“ Facebook group. One of them is Ronald van den Hoff (Author, Co-Founder and Trend Strategist of Seats2meet). Here we like to present his comment in full, he posted on CoWorking News: […]

First of all a big thank you to Jay for his great comment and very valuable points concerning the introduction of „Free Coworking“ in an already running coworking space!!! I am taking the unusual step to reply to his comment in a blog article, because I believe many people are interested to join the discussion. […]

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 […]

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 […]
