Coworking videos
Ideas can spread like wildfire. Sometimes all you need is a spark to set one off. Last week, Susan provided that spark to some members of the coworking Google Group by announcing the release of an Office Nomads video tour of the space (It’s our second video, as a matter of fact). Said video is now available on the main page of our site, and, well look at that! It’s right below this paragraph as well!
Funny how that works.
Susan’s announcement inspired some other coworking spaces to post and share their videos as well (a happening that I think is an excellent metaphor for coworking communities, by the by…). Before you knew it, there were announcements by CoHabitat in Dallas of a video of their space, and a couple by OfficeSpace CoWorking in Akron, Ohio including a full-fledged commercial they’re running on local stations there and one of some live music in their space.
Now, I KNOW those aren’t the only coworking videos out there (in fact, I featured a couple from Affinty Labs in Washington, D.C. and BlankSpaces in LA late last year which are worth watching again), but they’re the ones I know about. So, if you have more, let me know in the comments, on the Google group or in an email. I’d love to get video of as many different coworking spaces as I can up here.

What a brilliant service. Back in the late eighties I was involved with both a college campus incubator as well as having office space in a “shared” office. It really looks like you guys have done a phenomenal job of combining both and advancing the concept. In today’s economy, I really think this is where the future is for true producers with the guts to go it alone.
I live in Oregon now but if I were in Seattle, I would certainly partake.

We have a video tour of Sandbox Suites on our site and on YouTube. Once we saw yours, we also posted ours on Viddler, so thanks for that guys! We’ve also started posting videos from our monthly events (currently on our site and on Viddler only cuz need to be further compressed for YouTube). Your video tour was great and I like the dart-throwing one too – gives a good sense of the community at Office Nomads.
Cheers,
