Beyond shedworking to co-working (updated)

Brad Reed writing in PC World talks about co-working, a kind of halfway house between shedworking atmospheres and traditional offices. Here's how he describes it:

"Co-working communities, which combine the relaxed, informal atmosphere of working at home with the sociability and cost-sharing of an office, have emerged as alternatives for telecommuters who miss having person-to-person interaction during work."

Well worth a browse.

Lloyd Alter at Treehugger also has an interesting post on the subject here and also points to a wiki that lists coworking all over the world.
