Blog Post #2: Coworking

Coworking is a developing style of productivity in the working world that is being enhanced by businesses such as Next Space in the Bay Area or The Workspace in Bellingham. It involves sharing a work area with others even when they are not a part of your own business and it allows for smaller businesses and individuals to interact in ways that they usually would not be able to do in an office environment. Coworking takes the element of collaboration that many businesses want and need and makes it accessible to the smaller businesses that are still in starting phases or that are trying to expand often providing a platform for workshops and events to reach out and interact with people such as through TED talks and more. It is not necessarily a permanent place for businesses, physically or developmentally and even while they use them, but can be thought of as a hub for business growth.
