It aims to show those who are self-employed, independent, or entrepreneurial how they can benefit by working around each other.<BR/><BR/>Lately, the new trend has caught the attention of <A HREF="http://www.motherjones.com/commentary/columns/2008/01/works-well-with-others.html" REL="nofollow"><EM>Mother Jones</EM></A>, <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/business/businessspecial2/20ideas.html?_r=1&ref=businessspecial2&oref=slogin" REL="nofollow"><EM>The New York Times</EM></A>, <A HREF="http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/feb2007/sb20070226_761145.htm" REL="nofollow"><EM>Business Week</EM></A>, and other publications.<BR/><BR/>The eventual goal is to get enough people organized so that a discussion can commence about establishing a physical not-for-profit coworking community venue in Knoxville. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, the idea is just to provide a space that allows progressive, creative, independent people an opportunity to network and work around the company of others once a week.Alex Lavidgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03499217253836637932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524874.post-69848437191814793632008-01-25T16:42:00.000-05:002008-01-25T16:42:00.000-05:00Give me a call and I might be able to set you up with something.
