Microcoworking is independent workers and freelancers working together at the same time in a coffee shop, sharing ideas and conversation. It's more informal than the coworking facilities that have sprung up all over the country, but it shares with them the idea that just because you're working on your own you don't have to be alone.
Today Laura Fisher, Patti Smith and I restarted a microcoworking cell that had been on hiatus for a while, meeting at Zingerman's Next Door. We did some editing work together, Patti and I, and Laura showed off her stylish Sensu brush for the iPad. The music started out as a 70s mix which gave us all the appropriate flashbacks in time.
that is such a great way to work! I am trying to get some people to do the same thing here over in Jackson.
And way the heck over on the west edge of the North American Plate, some of us are doing a similar thing at the Tacoma Work Cafe… http://pageoftext.com/tacoma_work_cafe
Microcoworkers with long memories may note some similarities between the page of text wiki used to organize this activity and the one used for old-school microcoworking.
