Hey Folks,
You've Open-sourced your codes, now why don?t we try Open up our Office
Spaces?
Coworkable.com is an open free platform to share your extra, idle Office
Spaces, Desks, Conference room with other needy Startups, Geeks and
Entrepreneurs. Sharing your unused office space provide the opportunity to
meet, work and network with smart professionals like you, which lead to
unlimited business opportunities.
I interpret this concept similar to AirBnB -- I have a spare room,
office space/resources etc., that I can let out and have a
supplementary income.
The concept of organized commercial office sharing, that others have
posted their experience with, has been around for more than a couple
of decades. I don't think they fit into the concept of sharing my
*own* extra office space/resources.
IMO, this is the distinction one needs to understand and
coworkable.com needs to emphasis on this aspect. If this is *not* the
intent, then I agree that this post is borderline commercial. The
establishment of trust factor between renter/rentee is fuzzy (at least
to me). I had booked a room in Netherlands (through AirBnB); the
difference between the pics on the web site and the reality was like
day an night. I was lucky to get a partial refund from AirBnB.
