This is either just beginning to get started or it's a flash in the pan. One thing--if a person wants to hop on a trend, it's best to hop on early. Coworking is just beginng to be born. Here are some definitions (may or may not be correct, I'm still learning):

Coworking: A situation where a bunch of strangers all sit in the same space and work on their own projects. This has always been done in coffee shops. Now, people want to be able to do it without having to buy drinks. So, they rent space and "cowork."

Workclub: A place that an entrepreneur builds where people can cowork.

What does the collective wisdom here say about this? Most coworkers are young, idealistic, smart and probably are programmers or software developers. For these kinds of workers, coworking makes sense. But the first "workclub" that was set up specifically for that use (Gate 3 in San Francisco) folded because it was aimed at corporate officers who were supposed to pay high fees to have a very, very nice club. That went kaplunk in a hurry.

So, anyone here have and opinion? Is there money to be made in this? Should a workclub be a co-op? A coffee shop? Just a space? Whaddaya think?
