Good piece in the New York Times yesterday about the coworking phenomenon. For those of you who haven’t heard of coworking, it’s basically a community/collaboration space where independent workers, like affiliates, can pay for the usage of shared office space.

Many independent workers have found coworking arrangements to give them the sense of community they miss out on while working from home. Coworkers also are able to collaborate more than the average independent home worker, and usually have access to helpful people/resources through their coworking arrangements.

While costs may be a little steep for some, if you are looking for an officey atmosphere without the officey reality of a boss, check out the coworking wiki for more information and a coworking location near you.
