taking inspiration from officesnapshots.com i thought it would be cool
to start collecting all the images of the coworking spaces throughout
the world. something to keep me busy while i try myself to open up a
coworking place in des moines, ia.

on that note, I just have one for now to test it out and see what you
all think? If it is something you would like then i'll continue
collecting images throughout the weekend from all the known coworking
sites.

if you have a space and no site or gallery then just send me an email
with your space name, photos, any important links you want to show
(map, google group, twitter, social media links, etc.).

I just pulled the theme from wordpress, so nothing special there. i
just wanted to get it up and running last night. Any suggestions/
additions you want, let me know and I'll try to plug it in.

You could feed the photos already gathered in the coworking Flickr group:

p.s. I'm kind of not into having yet another website to have stuff on...any way you could incorporate this into the current blog? Maybe a section?

Not sure. I'm just submitting them as blog entries and being creative
with tags/categories so it is easily search able by name or location.
i don't want to clog up the community blog with snapshot blog entries?

I could do a synopsis of the place as well though so it isn't just
images, but relevant information like membership fees, allow drop-ins,
etc., etc.. I could turn it from a "just images snapshots" to a
"coworking info snapshot" of each place with all that information in
one spot?

I have to agree with Tara - why does there need to be another "single
serving" site to do what the flickr group already does? Maybe a blog
post LINKING to the flickr group - that's about the extent I see
necessary.

Just my $.02...

That's why I posted here, to grab $.02. I'll meta refresh it to
flickr group this weekend, it's cool. Thanks for the replies!

It might also be a good idea to go through and suggest geo-tags and
other tags for photos in the group or that are already tagged on
Flickr with "coworking". It's always a good idea to redouble the
investment in existing resources than to create new ones, even though
creating new stuff seems more fun in the beginning! ;)

Great suggestion! and to that end I finally got with it and geo-tag'd
all of my coworking and jelly pictures on Flickr.

The only one I couldn't nail down was our interview with Darrell
Silver because I can't find my notes with the address. I'll come back
to that one. I do have all of the spaces we've visited and all of the
coffee shops we met at (Jelly and otherwise) nailed.
