"Coworking" is a relatively new term - it was coined a few years ago by Brad Neuberg, a 31-year-old open-source programmer in San Francisco.
"I was working for a start-up, and I really wanted to go into business, but I was afraid I would miss the community and structure of a workplace," he says.
So he founded a shared office space in a women's art center, and since then he's become something of a coworking evangelist, encouraging people to start spaces and managing a wiki page (coworking.pbwiki.com) with its own blog, links to coworking spaces all over the world, and instructions on how to start your own space.
The rise of "co-working" spaces - freelancers and solo workers coming together/building community through working together.
