What is CoWorking ?

 Citizen Space in San Francisco, CA

"The term "coworking" was coined by Bernie DeKoven in 1999[20], and in 2005 used by Brad Neuberg to describe a physical space which he firstly called '9 to 5 group' [21].

Neuberg organized a coworking site called the "Hat Factory" in San Francisco, which is a live-work loft that is home to three technology workers, and is open to others during the day. Coworking spaces now exist in Argentina, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany, although most of the sites are in the U.S. Hub Culture Pavilions are leading the development of coworking on a global basis, with a network of locations that merge online tools with physical coworking environments. [22]
The San Francisco-based consulting firm Citizen Agency has actively promoted coworking, starting a space called Citizen Space which rents desks but also allows free drop-ins in the public spaces.[23] Coworking has also spread into many other metropolitan areas, with cities such as Portland, Oregon now offering several thriving coworking venues".[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking)
